Come to think of it, they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going to be interviewed for a job. Some of these books used in quizzes are available as prizes in the monthly RF Cafe Giveaway. Note: Many answers contain passages quoted in whole or in part from the text.  This quiz is based on the information presented in Battlespace Technologies: Network-Enabled Information Dominance, by Richard S. Deakin. Published by Artech House.Note: Some of these books are available as prizes in the monthly RF Cafe Giveaway. This book has some of the best photos of modern war-fighting technology that I have seen. Note: My across-the-pond friend, Ian Poole, of Adrio Communications and webmaster of the Radio-Electronics.com website, is prominently acknowledged by the author for his role in producing the book. 1.
