Editor Ronald K. Jurgen offers an informative introduction in Section I of Sensors and Transducers, clearly explaining the overall format and layout of the book. Section II, Sensors and Their Applications, contains papers that Jurgen has grouped in a unique, beneficial manner - by the parameters they measure, rather than their corresponding applications. Modern Sensor Technologies are explored in Section III, emphasizing newer design approaches that are potentially applicable across the board. Section IV, A Look to the Future, offers a glimpse into where sensors and transducers have yet to lead us.
