The book's table of contents alone runs to 20 pages and shows that the book covers topics as diverse as "how to "Create and Apply Capture Filters," to "Create and Apply Display Filters" and even to "Use Wireshark's Expert System."  And that's just the first half of the book; much of the remainder deals with the analysis of a variety of protocols including DNS, ARP, UDP, TCP, FTP and VoIP (to name a few).
