1.		Computer Organization and Design, Fourth Edition, Fourth Edition: The Hardware / Software Interface (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $48.92 Customer Review: Computer Organization and Design is an adequate text to teach you fundamentals of computer architecture and covers all the necessary material to have a basic understanding of the subject. That being said, the examples in the text are far too specific and more general examples would have better... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Microelectronic Circuits (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $119.20 Customer Review: Sedra's text is terse and muddled. If I sought to create a book which was difficult to understand, the first thing I would do is fail to define the terms in an explicit and clear manner. My stepfather, who happens to hold a bachelor's in electrical engineering called the text 'horrible' when he... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Programming 16-Bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: Learning to Fly the PIC 24 (Embedded Technology) from Newnes Price: $23.11 Customer Review: I found this book very readable, but maybe not the best choice for beginners. The author, who writes in a pleasant conversational style, assumes you know a bit of 'C', a bit of assembly, and are basically familiar with the PIC processors. I was very pleased with his starting point. If you are like... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The Definitive Guide to the ARM Cortex-M3, Second Edition from Newnes Price: $24.27 Customer Review: I just finished reading and rereading this book. I wish I had a book like this when I started out programming the Atmel AVR-chips. It took me half a year to grasp that platform the way I did the Cortex-M3 after five hours with this book. It is one of the most pleasant to-the-metal hardware... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.		Programming the Propeller with Spin: A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing (Tab Electronics) from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $16.96 Customer Review: Note, I'm only halfway through, but I am reading it pretty closely.

25.		Analog Circuits (World Class Designs) from Newnes Price: $26.71 Customer Review: The title is misleading. It mostly covers some very elementary concepts. And much of the material comes from other books. It seems rather presumptuous for Bob Pease to say "Every year there are 200,000 Chinese engineering graduates, and they don't know what we know. We can solve problems they... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook, Fifth Edition from Focal Press Price: $46.95 Customer Review: Doug Self is to Amplifier design what Jack Nicholson is to Movies ... a consummate expert.

29.		CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation from Wiley-IEEE Press Price: $27.00 Customer Review: This book contains enough information to get you started on analog CMOS design. The scope of CMOS design is vast, so even with 900 pages, it is impossible to cover every topic in great depth. So I don't fault the authors for being superficial on some areas. This is the book mostly for analog CMOS... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Programming 8-bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: with Interactive Hardware Simulation from Newnes Price: $15.15 Customer Review: The book itself is fine and I got it, but I specifically ordered this book because it said that it would be here that friday after I ordered it.
