This review is from: Hall Effect Sensors : Theory and Application (Hardcover)

Mr. Ramsey is not only an excellent writer, he also is a very good instructor. I've read his work in Sensors magazine, and heard him speak a couple of times at Sensors Expo & Conference. I was very happy to discover he's authored a book -- he's hit the nail on the head.
