Standard Handbook of Electronic Engineering, Fifth Edition with CD-ROM

McGraw-Hill, 2004

The Standard Handbook of Electronics Engineering has defined its field for over thirty years. Spun off in the 1960’s from Fink’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering, the Christiansen book has seen its markets grow rapidly, as electronic engineering and microelectronics became the growth engine of digital computing. The EE...

Field Geophysics

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Although there are many different geophysical methods, small-scale surveys
all tend to be rather alike and involve similar, and sometimes ambiguous,
jargon. For example, the word base has three different common meanings,
and stacked and field have two each.

Measurements in geophysical surveys are made in the field but,...
