Definitely not an average beta=Ic/Ib book; it tells you the various factors that go into this equation (and more, of course). The discussion on noise and linearity is in-depth, and more importantly, touches upon circuit-level topics. There is plenty of actual measured data, as well as illustration of practical measurement techniques and sets.

This book is suitable for senior-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well process, device and circuit engineers.

I think this book is very good for Semiconductor physics student but it is not good enough for circuit designer because I don't like Volterra series concept for analyzing nonlinearity of amplifiers and mixer. I know that there are different high frequency small and large signal equivalent circuit such as Mextram models from Philips and Hicum models from Germany.
These models can be use to analyze and design frequency response and harmonic generation of any amplifiers and mixer schematics.
