5.0 out of 5 stars What a crew to sail with!, May 17, 2000

This review is from: Electronics Engineers' Handbook (Hardcover)

Mr. Christiansen gathered a group of fine authors for this title. This book covers almost every topic you want to know about electronics. The level is, of course, advanced. It works for graduate students, or for college teachers, like myself, who want to have a sort of vade mecum that can not be carried in one's pocket. I will call this book, a bible. This means, a collection of books, with different specializations by different specialists. Mr Christiansen wrote some chapters himself. But as a final comment, an Electronics Engineer who does not know what his/her intended major will be, should buy this book to clearly study every branch of our beloved career.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Vital Resource with all the Information on the Field of Electronics, July 18, 2006

By 

David De Sousa "The Automation and Control Guy" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electronics Engineers' Handbook (Hardcover)

This edition of the "Electronics Engineers' Handbook" is the most comprehensive, authoritative reference you will find in the shelves.

This book has all the information you will ever need on Electronic Engineering and related fields. Each topics was written by foremost authorities in their respective fields, limiting mathematical derivation in favor of useful bottom line expressions, stressing references hat are broadly informative rather than those that may be to arcane. The resulting work is intended to be practical rather than tutorial. Nevertheless, while applications and cost considerations are emphasized throughout, theory is included when is deemed to be helpful to comprehension.

This handbook will be useful to a wide range of readers, from undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students, to new graduates and experienced practitioners. Anyone who need quick access to a definition, mathematical expression, or like in my case, any working engineer who may need access to application information related to problems you may be experiencing, or to a new project you think you may be assigned to.

Definitively a must have for anyone related to the field of electronic, electrical or computer engineering. I am an Electronics Engineer, and I has been an industrial practitioner working for the last 16 years in the process industries. I have found this handbook to be really useful many times.

Be aware that this handbook has been updated and renamed in its fifth edition, and is now the "Standard Handbook of Electronic Engineering", which now includes a CD-ROM.

I regret buying this book. It covers a lot of material but has very little about each item. If you really need the detail look elsewhere
