"It was a delight to discover that the primary concepts and terms
used freely within the industry are described in an easily
digestible manner...It's to Joe Tozer's credit, as editor, that the
book has a real flow to it, despite the diversity of
contributers...This book would be a major asset to the "office
library" of any engineer at the beginning of his career as well as
an excellent source of reference for future systems for those who
need to keep up with current trends and technologies. It is both
contemporary and authoritative." - The Channel
"There are no apologies for telling you about this massive tome
nearly three years after it appeared - it is one of those totally
comprehensive guides to highly specialised fields that are
indispensable for the specialists concerned" - British Journal of
