Widely accepted as the best single authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, bothanaloganddigital,thefirsttwoeditionsweretranslatedintoeightlanguages,andsoldmorethanamillioncopies worldwide.Theartofelectronicsisexplainedbystressingthemethodsactuallyusedbycircuitdesigners–acombination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a nonmathematical treatment that encourages understanding why and how a circuitworks. Paul Horowitz is a Research Professor of Physics and of Electrical Engineering at Harvard University, where in 1974 heoriginatedtheLaboratoryElectronicscoursefromwhichemergedTheArtofElectronics.Inadditiontohisworkin circuitdesignandelectronicinstrumentation,hisresearchinterestshaveincludedobservationalastrophysics,x-rayand particlemicroscopy,andopticalinterferometry.HeisoneofthepioneersofthesearchforintelligentlifebeyondEarth (SETI).Heistheauthorofsome200scientificarticlesandreports,hasconsultedwidelyforindustryandgovernment, andisthedesignerofnumerousscientificandphotographicinstruments.
