I think it is a great book. DSP education has suffered by not having this level of material presented and understood before diving into the blizzard of equations that characterises most peoples first exposure to DSP education. Also, its goal of reaching high school students is filling the need of providing a basic literacy in the digital nature of daily life that is sorely needed. The presentation is clear. It uses aspects of technology that touch peoples lives, so they aren't remote or unapproachable. I think it is very positive in promoting electronics as an area where females as well as males can be comfortable participating. The topic areas were selected to peak interest, the first step toward learning. And although the book intended to lay basic groundwork, it does it with a clear eye toward paving the way to more advanced investigations, and strikes good compromises about the depth to go into, so that introductions are made to techniques that will be major themes in later study.It is also an attractive book. It is colorful and inviting.I disagree with another reviewer that it is has hype for engineering. It is compelling and elicits enthusiasm. How can that be a flaw in a textbook?!
