Summary: A must for power systems students
Review: Comprehensive and lucid... this book presents all of the most important subjects in modern power electronics and electric power system control, and presents them in an organized fashion with a readable format. It also touches on many emerging concepts currently being developed in labs and universities, and is revised frequently.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book has a complete idea for the Power Electronics. Every line has an important meaning in it. Even though we have to read it very carefully. It worth for you to know all the bible of Power Electronics. One said Power System bible is Stevenson's book, on the other hand, Power Electronics' bible is Kassakian too. You can find everything in this book. You will not be regret if you hit this book.

Summary: I love science. Seems to grow more and more.
Review: Well, I guess I can say I went to MIT. I took Kassakian's class and received a fairly good grade. I don't remember learning to much, but I did do fairly well. I guess my sort of photographic memory helped me out a lot.

I'm writing this to all those who believe that technology is no good or of the devil. Sure . . Some people worship it and others do not. It is a useful tool that allows many people to live freer and happier lives. I sometimes imagine what the older americans went through without power in their homes. Imagine . . I come home from work, I light a few candles and I go to sleep. Imagine . . I had to kill a dear, I brought it home, and had to eat as much as I could before it rotted and needed to be buried. Imagine . . I have to get on this stupid horse to travel into town. Imagine . . I got to collect wood so that my wife could cook the family some soup so that my family wouldn't starve. Imagine . . having to work for a boss miles away I have nothing but my feet to get me there. This is the reality in many third world countries. Many consider this poverty, I consider it hardship, and God considers it a curse. So, if you want harship, poverty, and a ill-deserved curse, continue on your path of technology hatred. It only pulls you away from what you really need to do.

Have faith.
