standard handbook for electrical engineers

Its a good book. useful for all electrical enginners, with a complete revision of all aspects related with electricity.

Excellent book for your EE library

I checked out the 12th edition of this book from the library and found it to be an excellent resource. Very informative covering detailed aspects of many areas of EE design. Lots of figures, tables and pictues showing you what equipment and systems look like if you've never seen them before. The 14th edition is very similiar, only larger pages and updated figures and content. This is an excellent resource.
