Customer Reviews

excellent reference

I wouldn't have submitted a review had I not read that written by 'Georgia Tech', whom I can only assume has some hidden agenda. Contrary to his/her suggestion, the physics in this text is sound and the prose is good. Those who recorded having found that review helpful have been misled.This is well-known respected text which is an excellent book for both students and practioners in the field of instrumentation. It is a well-established reference which has been refined over a number of editions. Scope of the text is wide and the balance between theoretical principles and practical applications is well-judged. If you can only afford one book on instrumentation then this is definitely one to get -it has served me well both at college and in industry. At nearly 1000 pages of good quality content it is worth its hardback price - the paperback version is excellent value if still available.

TROLL ALERT

This is not so much a review of Doebelin as it is a review of Mr Georgia Tech who is making unsubstatiated criticisms of perfectly fine technical books without a shred of explanation or peer support of his views . The give away is that all his reviews use the EXACT same language no matter what the subject of the book he is criticising , down to the warning of "disasterous" lab results . He is probably a snotty 13 year old hacker just trying to cause trouble . Even the 20 of 24 people who found his 'review' helpful are probably Mr Snotty himself endorsing his own reviews form various grade school computers . BEWARE .
