Reviews
"Selected by Choice magazine as an ""Outstanding Academic Title"" for 2016 “Each class of sensors is individually addressed in detail from its basics to modern usage. Besides the physics behind the operation of the sensors, sensor applications and limitations are explained well. … This clearly written work would be an excellent resource for most technical readers who want to understand, use, and design with sensors. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; two-year technical program students.” (M. Mehrubeoglu, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016) “This book appeared at a time of increasing need for sensor handbooks and is therefore a good choice for students as well as engineers. It presents an overview giving a comprehensive and up-to-date physical principles, design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. … Owing to the amount of content, this is still aworthwhile handbook, which would be interesting for a lot of readers coming from different scientific disciplines.” (Gerald Urban, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, May, 2016)"
