I have purchased this book originally for my teaching reference. I thought it should cover something new to emerging technologies, such as those decribed in "Advacnced Vehicle and Infrastructure Systems, edited by Christopher Nwagboso." Apart from two pages talking "Controller Area Networks", all other materials are mostly for basic computer control concept only. Worst of all, many pictures and diagrams are in poor printing quality, at the first galance even just like copied ones. I have never had an experience to see such poor quality materials in a textbook. The book claims "Avoids unnecessary theory and mathematics by discussing priciples in context", and that makes the book just suitable for vocational high school students. For technology college students, the book is some what too condensed to extend knowlwdge of computer control. With only 200 pages or so, it seems too ambitious to cover all computer related control topics. If more pages can be developed for further discusions in the computer control and omitted those too general digital concepts, the content will be better suitable for higher level usage.
