Editorial Reviews

A spinoff from the Process Measurements and Analysis volume of The Instrument Engineer's Handbook, the third edition of which is projected for 1994-95. Provides much more information than is necessary to tell if the baby has a fever, such as descriptions of new temperature measuring systems made possible by microprocessors, integrated circuits, and fiber optics. Addressed to engineers in industry. About 15 pages of the review copy are bound upside down. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
