Appendix A

General Instrumentation Books

For the most part, individual technical chapters of the
Instrumentation Reference Book give references for further
reading to books with a particular relevance to the topic of
that chapter. Here we list some more general books that each
give an overview of a wide range of instrumentation subjects. To help the reader decide whether any particular book
will help with a particular problem, we include a table of
contents for each of these books.
