‎'‎Who among us has not kept a cherished copy of AoE on our workbench throughout our careers‎?‎ Engineers‎,‎ hackers and makers of all stripes‎,‎ rejoice for the third edition ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ has been worth the wait‎!‎ Packed with tons of delicious knowledge to navigate electronics in both work and hobby‎.‎ An encyclopedia of electronics knowledge‎,‎ [The Art of Electronics] is a pleasure to read through for tips and tricks and is an unbeatable resource‎!‎ Take a day out to read a chapter ‎- you will learn things you didn‎'‎t even know you didn‎'‎t know‎.‎ Or‎,‎ refer to the pinouts‎,‎ diagrams‎,‎ and techniques as necessary to guide you through a difficult project‎.‎ If you think electrical engineering is magical then you must pick up this tome‎!‎‎'‎ Limor ‎'‎Ladyada‎'‎ Fried‎,‎ Adafruit Industries ‎'‎First of all‎,‎ after I forklifted [Chapter 5] onto my reading table‎,‎ I sat down and read it‎.‎ It is simply spectacular‎.‎ That may be overly exclamatory language but it is the only appropriate verbiage I can summon‎.‎ Spectacular‎,‎ deep and wide‎.‎ I especially like the comments about interpreting specifications and the deconstruction of the Agilent voltmeters is just‎,‎ well‎,‎ wonderful‎.‎‎'‎ Jim Williams‎,‎ Linear Technology Corp ‎'‎Wow‎.‎ Chapter 5 details every circuit artifact that I‎'‎ve encountered in the past thirty years in a through‎,‎ pragmatic‎,‎ and straightforward way‎.‎ My only ‎'‎twinge‎'‎ is that [it] disclosed and explained ‎(‎in glorious graphical detail and with real part numbers‎)‎ many topics that I thought were my personal trade secrets ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ I love the plots‎.‎ I know that it must take an enormous effort to collate all of the device characteristics‎.‎ It‎'‎s worth the effort‎.‎ The way ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ [it] present[s] the data allows the reader to get terrific perspective on a lot of landscape in a single view‎.‎ Nice work‎.‎‎'‎ John Willison‎,‎ founder‎,‎ Stanford Research Systems ‎'‎Horowitz and Hill‎'‎s third edition beautifully upgrades their earlier work‎,‎ with substantial updates to detail‎,‎ and without compromise to style‎,‎ content‎,‎ or technical quality‎.‎ Like the second edition I‎'‎ve used for years‎,‎ it is laser‎-focused on the working engineer‎.‎ Delivered in folksy Horowitz and Hill style‎,‎ it is rich with the kind of nitty‎-gritty information that‎'‎s invaluable to circuit designers and manufacturers‎,‎ much of which is absent ‎(‎or difficult to find‎)‎ elsewhere‎.‎ This new book is a superb update‎,‎ one which I‎'‎m sure will be treasured by those close to the art of analog circuitry‎.‎‎'‎ Walt Jung‎,‎ author‎,‎ IC Op‎-Amp Cookbook ‎'‎This epic work was created by two of the best experts in the field ‎(‎with many others providing information‎)‎‎.‎ It defines the current state of the art in electronics ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ Most parts of the book will continue to be relevant for several decades‎.‎ The 1124 pages ‎(‎even more densely packed with highly accurate information than the pages of the second edition‎)‎ will delight everyone who already knows about electronics ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ It is almost certain that you will like the third edition even more than the second ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ The information that is now available in the book is absolutely fantastic‎,‎ both the quality and the quantity‎,‎ and you should get [it] as soon as you can ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎‎'‎ Wise Warthog blog ‎'‎If you are looking for a handy and very practical electronics reference book‎,‎ this is a good one‎.‎ I think you will enjoy it‎.‎ Thanks to Horowitz and Hill for updating this classic‎.‎‎'‎ Lou Frenzel‎,‎ Electronic Design ‎(‎electronicdesign‎.‎com‎)‎ ‎'‎If you are a hobbyist or maker who wants to acquire or improve a well‎-rounded knowledge of electronics then The Art of Electronics is an ideal book for you‎.‎ It starts from the very basics of voltage‎,‎ current and resistance without getting heavily dependent on physics theory or mathematics‎,‎ and proceeds to cover a huge variety of interesting topics‎.‎ For electronic engineering students‎,‎ [this book] ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ will help you develop the intuitive understanding‎,‎ which will make it easier to put the maths in context‎,‎ and it will be invaluable when you do practical work for design projects‎.‎ The Art of Electronics brilliantly conveys its authors‎'‎ enthusiasm and experience of practical engineering and is an inspiring read‎.‎ Many people have described the earlier editions as the best book on electronics‎,‎ so [this third edition] had a lot to live up to‎;‎ fortunately‎,‎ it does not disappoint‎.‎ It deserves its gold cover‎.‎‎'‎ Ian Bell‎,‎ Everyday Practical Economics ‎'‎I believe the strength of this book stems from the authors‎'‎ background in physics ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ The key being that electronics is not their primary interest‎.‎ This ‎'‎application perspective‎'‎ is most evident in their presentation‎:‎ the material is presented with the goal of understanding the behavior of electronic devices‎,‎ circuits‎,‎ and systems before the nitty‎-gritty details of calculating the behaviour ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ The authors are also liberal in their use of commercially available parts in their presentation‎,‎ something rarely‎,‎ if ever‎,‎ seen in a typical textbook‎.‎ There is an abundance of warning‎,‎ based on real‎-world experience‎,‎ of the many traps that lie in wait for the practitioner of the electronic art ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ In spite of the analog bent‎,‎ the digital information in this book is an excellent source for the analog engineer to get started using digital systems for the control of analog circuits‎.‎ All in all‎,‎ a highly recommended addition to the working engineer‎'‎s bookshelf‎.‎ ‎'‎ Greg Oshiro ‎,‎ Journal of the Audio Engineering Society
