Hi Guys,
In case you didn't know, Wiley & Sons, in conjunction
with the IEEE Press, has published a new DSP book.
It's titled: "Streamlining Digital Signal Processing:
A Tricks of the Trade Guidebook."

It's a terrific book in terms of providing real-world,
super-practical, tips & tricks regarding many
different DSP topics.
As it turns out, many of the book's chapters were
written by some of the DSP experts here on comp.dsp.
I am the book's editor and one of its "Contributors".

The Wiley Marketing people asked me to post an
announcement here on comp.dsp regarding the book,
and they've agreed to give any of you a 20% discount
on the sale price of the book. The pricing info is:

Original price: $74.95 (U.S. dollars)
Comp.dsp discount price is $59.96. (U.S. dollars)

You can learn more about the book by visiting:

http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyT...470131578.html

If you decide to buy the book, then as you go through
the book-ordering web pages you'll have an opportunity
to enter a "Promotion Code". If you enter the code
AUT27 you'll receive a 20% discount on the price of
the book.

So, ... if such a DSP book interests you please have
a look at the above web site to learn more about
the book.

Regards,
[-Rick-]

Below is Wiley & Sons's description of the book:

Based on the popular "DSP Tips & Tricks" column in IEEE Signal
Processing magazine, this book provides DSP tricks-of-the-trade,
practical shortcuts, and clever engineering designs from experienced
digital signal processing (DSP) professionals.

Covering a wide array of signal processing topics, such as digital
filtering, spectrum analysis, demodulation, generating specialized
signals, high-speed function approximation, and various other DSP
operations, this book provides elegant engineering solutions used by
working engineers to reduce the cost, increase the processing speed,
and improve the performance of their DSP systems.

Written in a style that is both professional and lucid, the DSP topics
are carefully introduced, described with just the right amount of
mathematics, and thoroughly explained with clear writing and an
abundance of figures. Chapter topics are written in a standalone
manner, so the subject matter can be read in any desired order.

The contributors to this book make up a dream team of skilled DSP
engineering-authors-experienced in both building high-performance DSP
systems and describing their designs in practical easy-to-understand
language. While rich in specialized DSP tips and tricks making it a
valuable resource for experienced working engineers, this material
contains sufficient fundamental DSP theory and simple mathematics to
make it accessible to students. Bridging the theory-to-practice gap,
this is a very different DSP book!

Just in time Rick! I ordered the book last week at the original price!

Oh well, my employer will be paying for it, and besides - I anticipate
that it'll be worth every penny they pay for it. :-)

I'm looking forward to its arrival!

As the judge said, "So ordered!"

Any chance there is also a promotion discount on "Understanding Digita
Signal Processing (2nd Edition)"?

Thanks for the head's up Rick. You saved me a few bucks.

Hi Jim,
Shoot. Oh well. Timing is "everything",
isn't it?

As for the book's value, if you run across
a topic (some DSP description) in the book that
saves you merely 1-2 hours at work, then the
book has more than payed for itself (from the
standpoint of your employer).

The book's text is written in the most "readable"
way that was possible. I think you'll like it.

Good Luck Jim,
[-Rick-]

Hi Stacy,

Sadly no. The "Understanding DSP" book is from
another publisher (Prentice Hall).

Sorry 'bout that.

Yes it is! I had ordered the book through Amazon and was wondering why
it hadn't shown up yet. So I went to check the status of my order and
found that it was not going to ship until next week sometime. So I
canceled the order and will get it from your link.

THANKS!

I noticed that my local bookshop had it in stock today so I picked one up -
first thing I noticed were some familiar contributors' names!

My copy came a couple of hours ago by UPS. That's quite a roster of authors!

Hi Jerry (& Howard),

Yep. The book's "List of Contributors"
is very interesting, isn't it? Some of the book's
Contributors that you might recognize are:

Matthew Donadio (remember him?)
Greg Berchin
Mark Borgerding
Peter Kootsookos
Eric Jacobsen
Clay Turner
Vladimir Vassilevsky
and some guy named Lyons.

Two very famous Contributors to the book are:

* fred harris (the *VERY* prolific professor, and DSP
guru, of Blackman-Harris windows" fame). We've been
reading harris' terrific papers/articles for many years
now, and in 2004 fred had his first book published;
"Multirate Sig. Proc. For Communications Systems".

* Charles Rader (formally of MIT Lincoln Laboratory).
Rader, the creator of the "Rader Transform" is one of the
true inventors of DSP. He was co-author (with the late
Bernard Gold) of the field of DSP's very *first* textbook
that actually described digital filters and the FFT!
Also, Rader was the the first recipient of the prestigious
Jack S. Kilby award.

Anyway, ... I agree with you Jerry. The list of
authors is "slick" indeed.

See Ya',

Hi Rick,

This promotion code doesn't seem to work in the UK :-( Any chance
you could prod Wiley into accepting it for us "foreigners" :-)

Cheers,
Martin

Hello Martin,

I don't know if mk's post regarding
"amazon.co.uk" satisfies you, but if you can
tell me exactly what web pages that you're
visiting to buy the book, I'll send that
information to the book's publisher and ask
if they can arrange for some sort of discount.

I have no idea whether the publisher can do
anything to benefit you good folk in the U.K.,
but with your info I'll certainly ask.

Regards,
[-Rick-]

Thanks Rick - private email sent to you! I shall also investigate the
Amazon option now...

It took 11 days for my copy to arrive from Wiley, but it
certainly looks like it was well worth the wait. Lots
of food for DSP thought.


IMHO. YMMV.
