A solid Comtemporary Reference Work

The Electrical Engineering Handbook, Third Edition - 6 Volume Set edited by Richard C. Dorf (Electrical Engineering Handbook Series: CRC Press) comprised six hefty volumes available individually as Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image Processing; Electronics, Power Electronics, Optoelectronics, Microwaves, Electromagnetics, and Radar; Sensors, Nanoscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Instruments; Broadcasting and Optical Communication Technology; Computers, Software Engineering, and Digital Devices; Systems, Controls, Embedded Systems, Energy, and Machines. In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our knowledge continues to grow, and so does the Handbook. For the third edition, it has expanded into a set of six books carefully focused on a specialized area or field of study. Each book represents a concise yet definitive collection of key concepts, models, and equations in its respective domain, thoughtfully gathered for convenient access. The purpose of The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 3rd Edition is to provide a ready reference for the practicing engineer in industry, government, and academia, as well as aid students of engineering. Combined, they constitute the most comprehensive, authoritative resource available. Providing the basic information needed for a thorough understanding of each area, this Third Edition comprises the following six volumes: Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image Processing Electronics, Power Electronics, Optoelectronics, Microwaves, Electromagnetics, and Radar Sensors, Nanoscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Instruments Broadcasting and Optical Communication Technology Computers, Software Engineering, and Digital Devices Systems, Controls, Embedded Systems, Energy, and Machines Encompassing the work of the world's foremost experts in their respective specialties, The Electrical Engineering Handbook, Third Edition remains the most convenient, reliable source of information available. This edition features the latest information, the broadest scope of coverage, and new material on nanotechnologies, fuel cells, embedded systems, and biometrics.

The books a part of every electrical engg.

This book is really good. it has covered almost every fundamental what an electrical engg. looks out for. It will be really helpful for the designers who are looking out for some basics. Moreover it is a compilation of all fundamentals in one book and is a bible. Hence, it should be a part of every electrical engineer's collection of books.
