Choice Review

Schmidt-Walter and Kories attempt to touch on all areas of electrical engineering in 666 pages, utilizing a small (4.5 x 7.5 inches) softcover format. Calling it a "pocket reference" is an exaggeration unless one is a giant, but it is certainly only a small fraction of the size and weight of the standard in the field, CRC's The Electrical Engineering Handbook (2nd ed., CH, Jun'98, 35-5672); that volume weighs more than seven pounds. The book had its origin in a German-language edition and has been translated into English. Although it purports to address students in electrical engineering, telecommunications, and other fields, telecommunications is notable by its total absence from the book. Even a basic topic like "modulation" does not appear in the index. Compressing such a vast amount of information into a work of this size is a challenge, and the authors have made a good try. The explanations are, of necessity, very brief and not intended to teach the subject; the book's purpose is to remind students and professionals of things they have already learned from other sources. The lists of symbols and units within each chapter are particularly useful, as are the numerous diagrams and figures. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; professionals. M. S. Roden emeritus, California State University, Los Angeles
