Negative Positive
Title: Timeless
Review: This was a first text for countless electrical engineers, and for good reason. To be sure, it reflects its era. But the content remains the cornerstone of a solidly constructed EE education. The style and organization provide an enviable model of clarity and purpose. The preface to the second edition, in which Van Valkenburg quoted A.F. Whitehead on the proper place of proof in education, outlines a philosophy of teaching which is -- if anything -- more and not less relevant today than then. Almost sixty years after its first publication, it would be difficult to overstate the impact this one book has made on generations of engineers. I'm sad to see it out of print and won't be loaning mine out again.
Is the review positive or negative?
