Indeed - the second edition was very helpful for me (An embedded SW/crypto person by day doing basic electronics and ham radio as a hobby) during the early 00's.
I didn't see a chapter list. I wonder whether FPGA technology will be touched on at all? some of the modern small FPGAs are incredibly useful when paired with a microcontroller or the newer uc++ boards like the edison. Then again, so many new toys are available (DDS comes to mind for radio) that I imagine a lot of newer tech is out of scope for a book that focuses on the fundamentals. There's always the AARL books :)
