A very well-used book

This is one of the more frequently used books on my refernece shelf. Although it does a good job of covering esential topics, it is dated in some areas (It was published in 1988; it's now 2005). For example, the chapter on batteries has no mention of nickel-metal-hydride batteries because the technology did not exist then. Chapters include: Technical Math Review; DC Circuit Analysis; AC Circuit Analysis; Selecting R L and C Components; Selecting Semiconductor Devices; Audio Amplifiers; Tuned Amplifiers; Feedback; Oscillators; Power Supplies; Battery Uses and Special Cells; Op-Amp Applications; Digital Logic; Computer-Aided Circuit Design; Analog-Digital Conversion; Video Amplifiers; Microprocessors; Transmission Lines; Filters; Antennas; Microwaves; Communication Systems; Measurements; Thick-film Technology; Fiber Optic Systems; 18 appendices and an index. A lot of the information is the fundamentals of each topic - imformation that is sometimes difficult to find now yet essential for complete understanding of the topic. The format of each chapter is similar, with an introduction or general background, the core elements of applicable theory, and detailed analysis or discussion. This makes the handbook suitable for a manager who wants a quick overview, a technician who needs more detailed background, and the engineer who is designing for the applicable system.
