Electronic Sensor Circuits & Projects, Volume III (Engineer's Mini Notebook)

Simple, hand written, to the core, no fluff, no pork, no jabber, just straight circuit and sensor ideas. The book looks like it was all hand written in perfect engineering fashion, this is a lost art only mastered by people who have enormous patience and a twinge of super-genious. This book is a must! Even if you don't understand electronics, the writing alone is incredible!

VERY GOOD BOOK

I usually dislike textbooks but Forrest Mims deserves a spot on my book shelf. I think of him as the Bob Ross of electronics. His series of books are incredibly detailed but simple enough that you don't need a math degree to understand. He gives you enough information to get you going in a well compiled, easy to follow way. Combine Forrest Mims with The Art of Electronics and you can teach yourself a great deal about circuitry. In Electronic Sensor Circuits & Projects, Forrest even shows you how to make the projects with detailed drawings and descriptions. I especially recommend this for teenagers or even kids interested in Electronics.

Personally, I enjoied a lot this book. Eccentric, funny, interesting with an "hands on" tone it intoduces to a good variety of sensors. I would say that this book could be addressed both to beginners who can be introduced to the subjects in an "easy" not conventional way, and to the practitioners that can find in it useful suggestions immediately directed to the heart of the problem. The subjects are explained in an "high level" way without entering in theoretical dissertation, you can find in it a brief explanation on how the sensor works and some schematics for managing the signal out from the sensor itself. I repeat, not a conventional book. You have to be aware of this if you are planning tu buy it but, to me, it deserves your attention and it is , definitely, a good book.

Good short reference book.

Volume 3 isn't available new very often.

Ordered the entire series of four from amazon and wasn't disappointed. Great engineering reference with practical examples! Great desk reference! Clear writing and good prose.

Neat book. Great for those who like to experiment, or need some "how to" wisdom and knowledge. I love the format of this book.

The content is a bit over-simplified the implementation of devices. Like hand-writing notes.

Not the kind of book I have expected, though I have read lots of good reviews of this book before the purchase. Pretty basic stuff for a price. Hate that notebook type of pattern on the paper that was used. And handwriting style of text used. Hard to read someone's handwriting as usual. And all CAPITAL LETTERS. Missing decimal points in some formulas.
