Greetings.

I have elderly Electronics Engineering text books, but I don't have
any new/recent ones. For both my education and curiosity, I'd like to
get some (one or more) newish EE college text books. GOOD ones -- and
by "GOOD" I mean well written. I have a newish Electronics Technology
text book that strikes me as being rather mediocre, even with its
charming pastel printing and excessive diagrams. I certainly don't
want to go out of my way to acquire mediocre EE textbooks, too.

With regard to a particular area of study, I'd be interested in books
relevant to digital logic and radio. I assume "digital logic" is self
explanatory; by "radio" I mean anything somewhat related to what would
be involved with designing a AM/FM radio receiver. e.g. mesh/node
analysis; design of discrete "transistor" (Bipolar, FET) "circuits"
(audio/RF); analysis of oscillators/filters; etc.

For clarity:
a. I am only interested in obtaining recommendations and titles/ISBN
numbers. This is NOT a RFQ! ;-)
b. I am interested in undergraduate/graduate EE (electronics) books.
Clive "Max" Maxfield (http://www.maxmon.com/), for example, has
probably written several good electronics related books (I have fond,
if dim, recollections of "Bebop to the Boolean Boogie"). His books are
not, however, college text books, so they are disqualified from this
discussion. Ditto all the other various hobbyist/technology
(non-Engineering)/miscellaneous electronics books.
c. I'm looking for pointers to best-of-breed books. I'm perfectly
capable of randomly locating unvetted textbooks via Internet searches.
d. Although I'm located in the USA, a pointer towards a particularly
good UK electronics engineering (again, NOT technology) text book
would quite welcome (pip, pip)!

Thanks in advance!

Cordially,
Richard Kanarek

Fundamentals never change!

My 50 year-old MIT text books still serve me well.

Gee, the first revision of Gray and Meyer didn't have any CMOS analog
in it. Low power CMOS analog design books came out later than than.

Time marches on.
