A Good Introduction to Electromagnetism and Noise Problems - Not the Best Option for Instrumentation

This book is a good introductory book to understand electrostatics, electromagnetism, and related induction and noise problems. The book is better suited for electronic design engineers and technicians, offering them techniques for handling noise problems, and reducing or eliminating noise in interconnecting systems and electronic equipment. Its title may be misleading since this book probably is not the best choice for Instrument engineers and technicians. As a matter of fact in the latest edition of this book, the title has been change, dropping the "in instrumentation" from it. If you are an Industrial Practitioner of Instrumentation, Automation and Control Systems, looking to increase your knowledge about noise and induction problems, but especially interested in real world solutions and case studies related to field instrumentation loops, control systems, UPS, and the sort of equipment and devices found in industrial application, you should take a look at "Practical Grounding, Bonding, Shielding and Surge Protection (Practical Professional Books)" by G Vijayaraghavan, Mark Brown, and Malcolm Barnes, and "Control System Power and Grounding Better Practice ("Control Engineering" S.)" by Roger Hope, Dave Harrold, and David Brown, which may probe to be more useful for your specific needs. I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control who has been working in the Process Industries for more than 16 years as an Automation, Instrumentation, Process Safety and Process Control Engineer. I found thie latest two books more useful in understanding and dealing with day to day problems encountered in the field and in control rooms.
