Since publication of the previous, the 3rd edition of this book, the sensor tech- logies have made a remarkable leap ahead. The sensitivity of the sensors became higher, the dimensions smaller, the selectivity better, and the prices lower. What have not changed, are the fundamental principles of the sensor design. They still are governed by the laws of Nature. Arguably one of the greatest geniuses ever lived, Leonardo Da Vinci had his own peculiar way of praying. It went like this, “Oh Lord, thanks for Thou don’t violate Thy own laws. ” It is comforting indeed that the laws of Nature do not change with time, it is just that our appreciation of them becomes re?ned. Thus, this new edition examines the same good old laws of Nature that form the foundation for designs of various sensors. This has not changed much since the previous editions. Yet, the sections that describe practical designs are revised substantially. Recent ideas and developments have been added, while obsolete and less important designs were dropped. This book is about devices commonly called sensors. The invention of a microprocessor has brought highly sophisticated instruments into our everyday life. Numerous computerized appliances, of which microprocessors are integral parts, wash clothes and prepare coffee, play music, guard homes, and control room temperature. Sensors are essential components in any device that uses a digital signal processor.

I have my doubts about whether Fraden had a copy-editor review this book before printing. It's full of egregious typos and downright bizarre terminology (OPAM = op amp).

I don't mean to be to harsh, I think English isn't Fraden's first language and he must come from a non-EE background. This book contains useful, but poorly-presented information. You're probably better off figuring out what you want to sense and reading some appnotes instead.

This book is a good reference book to many different sensors that I was looking for. As an engineer looking to use these types of sensors, it gave me a nice overview to quickly move into the design and application thought process. Thanks

I recommend for anyone that is using sensors or would like to understand a little more than basics of sensoring.

Good

I think this book is great. It has a good portion dedicated to introduction to instrumentation and a lot of what I thought was fairly obscure knowledge about different sensors. It wasn't as in-depth as I would have liked when it came to how individual sensors might be designed, but that would make it into a pretty heavy book in retrospect.
