3.		The Chip : How Two Americans Invented the Microchip and Launched a Revolution from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $9.13 Customer Review: This is a good book, but it would have been much better if the author had not decided to add "filler". The best example is the chapter "DIM-1", which explains in quite some detail, the working of digital microchips. While this may be interesting, it is not related to the book's tagline: How two... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		RF Circuit Design, Second Edition from Newnes Price: $21.35 Customer Review: In ~200 pages this book covers material ranging from introduction to inductors and capacitors and finishes up covering super-hetrodyne receivers. It assumes you know nothing and tries to cover everything. Given the breadth, it ends up with no depth. If you want a book to put over your desk to try... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Switching Power Supply Design, 3rd Ed. from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $66.55 Customer Review: If you need to design power supplies of any type, this book is the reference.

10.		Analog Circuits (World Class Designs) from Newnes Price: $16.11 Customer Review: 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 cannot." Could it be the Chinese engineering graduates to cause Bob to lose his job at National?	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		MSP430 Microcontroller Basics from Newnes Price: $42.57 Customer Review: I just bought this book and almost immediately read through the first 3 chapters. The first 3 chapters are mainly an overview of the entire MSP430 family, how to read datasheets and find the information you want, and a brief history of microcontrollers in general. These first 3 chapters alone are... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Programming 32-bit Microcontrollers in C: Exploring the PIC32 (Embedded Technology) from Newnes Price: $45.32 Customer Review: This is a must have for anyone building sophisticated applications for DsPic or Pic32.

13.		The Definitive Guide to the ARM Cortex-M3 (Embedded Technology) from Newnes Price: $46.35 Customer Review: Well, I received the book, and returned it the next day. In my opinion, the book is not worth the $55. I can find all this info from the data sheet (I'm using the STM32 product line and their 1000+ page data sheet covers it all)... Said that, the book does cover a great deal, but again, not... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor from Newnes Price: $61.11 Customer Review: After just completing a 1000-part, 8-layer PCB design, I can tell you that this text will pay for itself in saved hours the first time you crack it open.

26.		A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network from Copperhill Media Corporation Price: $12.60 Customer Review: The book is very detailed about the specifications and ins and outs of the CAN. As such it deserves a 5. It isn't terribly useful for building or programming such a bus. In that regard it is a 1. The 3 stars really doesn't adequately provide a way to rate the book.
