As a long-time user, I am very happy to teach out of the text and find it to be the best book in it's category that I have seen.

As a long-time user, I am very happy to teach out of the text and find it to be the best book in it's category that I have seen. Would Require for all instrumentation courses and as a reference for all future courses related to equipment and instrumentation. We recently switched from Mosby to White and the student response has been excellent. Our students find the text readable with excellent figures.
