This book is a great theoretical introduction to DSP. Although its size looks intimidating and there is a lot of math, this book is very good for a beginner because firstly, the size of the book is due to numerous examples as well as clear and detailed explanations for most of the concepts and secondly, it is possible to skip over much of the math if you are so inclined and take away the gist of the section. This is the case in some of the more advanced topics covered which may be suitable for a second reading.

Some of the things I liked in this book are:
- The organization of the material and lucidity of the writing and explanation
- Consistency of notation
- The concepts of frequency in continuous and discrete time signals in Chapter 1
- The long introduction to discrete time systems and the concepts of linear time invariance in Chapter 2
- The explanation of Fourier series and Fourier transforms of continuous time and discrete time signals (periodic and non periodic) in Chapter 4 is the best part of this book
- Frequency domain characteristics of LTI systems in Chapter 4
- The way the DFT was introduced and its relationship with the DTFT in Chapter 5
- Sampling and reconstruction of signals in Chapter 9

Power transfer for large systems depends on high system voltages. The basics of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, together with the principles governing the design of high voltage insulation, are covered in this book for students, utility engineers, designers and operators of high voltage equipment.
In this new edition the text has been entirely revised to reflect current practice. Major changes include coverage of the latest instrumentation, the use of electronegative gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, modern diagnostic techniques, and high voltage testing procedures with statistical approaches.

For software development professionals and computer science students, Modern Operating Systems gives a solid conceptual overview of operating system design, including detailed case studies of Unix/Linux and Windows 2000.

What makes an operating system modern? According to author Andrew Tanenbaum, it is the awareness of high-demand computer applications–primarily in the areas of multimedia, parallel and distributed computing, and security. The development of faster and more advanced hardware has driven progress in software, including enhancements to the operating system. It is one thing to run an old operating system on current hardware, and another to effectively leverage current hardware to best serve modern software applications. If you don't believe it, install Windows 3.0 on a modern PC and try surfing the Internet or burning a CD.

Important commercial applications such as digital computers, control systems, and data communications depend on a common component–digital circuits. Now, this second edition of the best-selling introductory digital design text introduces you to the tools and methods you'll need to create your own applications. You'll find timely information on new developments as well as time-tested coverage of standard topics in this up-to-date edition from a highly knowledgeable source.

Computer Networking or Introduction to Networking at both the undergraduate and graduate level in Computer Science, Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments. In this highly anticipated revision, Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaums in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter follows a consistent approach- Tanenbaum presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that run through the entire book—the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs and Bluetooth. This new Fourth Edition contains a new chapter devoted exclusively to network security. The textbook is supplemented by a Solutions Manual, as well as a companion Web containing PowerPoint slides and other tools for instruction.

This book released last year is designed to help IT pros prepare to pass the new Windows Server 2003 networking certification exam. The author's easy-to-follow writing style and the feel of this book is a perfect choice for those with limited Windows networking experience. The authors have what it takes to explain difficult topics and do so in a very easy to read and understand format.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of Windows Server 2003 administration. The authors are thorough with their explanations and detail, and are not afraid to consume pages at the publisher's expense. They truly have the reader in mind. In fact, the book weighs in at almost 1,000 pages and includes a DVD with recorded instructor reviews of each chapter in an abbreviated format. If it wasn't for the plentiful exercises, review, and labs, this book would compare in size to many of the other self-study guides available.
