IN THE TANGLED JUNGLE of EDA, it's sometimes difficult to see the forest for the trees. The Electronic Design Automation Handbokh by Dirk Jansen (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003, ISBN 1-402-07502-2, 244pp., dollar 148) endeavors to create a compendium that integrates basic knowledge from a variety of areas in EDA, providing a "one-stop shop" that overviews the field. Such a task is indeed ambitious and difficult, even in 675 pages, but this volume makes an excellent attempt at that goal. The book, directed toward an audience of design and CAD practitioners and students, is a joint effort by several researchers from the Universities of Applied Sciences in Germany who have been working together in this field for many years.
