"This book does contain a lot of material. For those people who are interested in the Wiley Encyclopedia, this book offers an alternative of getting essentially most of the information." (IEEE Circuits & Devices Magazine, November 2003)

"I suggest the Dyer volume will give the most satisfaction as a general catalogue of the subject." (Measurement & Control, November 2001)
