Too mathematical in content... The author floods the book with useless math that you can easily derive from classic textbooks. Only the first 3 chapters are more or less ok but the references to websites and bibliography that he makes are much better than his own textbook... This book is useless to experimentalists and to people who want to delve into NEMS. Buy his earlier textbook instead which is much more detailed and which contains a lot of useful information!

Some of the latter chapters do a detailed mathematical treatment of MEMS and NEMS devices, its good if that is what you are looking for, but it was hard to believe the text is written in english at times it is so incoherent. It was so bad I wouldn't finish reading it, thankfully I was able to find it in the library so I didn't waste any money on it.

This book has a misleading title. It briefly touches the surface of MEMS in the first two chapters. The rest of the book is theory of electric motors and control systems that you can find in any standard book. Nobody has built a MEMS motor yet and when that happens, the principles will be totally different as those used by the standard induction motors we know today. That's why the book is bad: describes old electric motors that cannot be built with MEMS technology. This book is non sense.
