A comprehensive, entry-level text that reads easily

"Modern Vacuum Practice" by Nigel Harris is an easy book to read, and it follows well. Although there are many books available on the subject of vacuum technology, not too many of them incorporate latest technologies in hybrid pumps, dry pumps, and gauging. In other words, Harris has included the most recent advances in vacuum in his book. "Modern Vacuum Practice" does not bog the reader down with tedious mathematical equations and a lot of physics-related theory. But, rather offers easy text that explains well what theory otherwise leaves to the reader. For the technician, this is a book that should be on the "must read" list because it describes the fundamental concepts of vacuum technology, and describes basic equipment.
