The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Europe's largest engineering society, has acquired the full publication list of US-based electromagnetics engineering specialist, SciTech Publishing of Raleigh, NC. The acquisition of more than 70 backlist engineering titles, with an additional output of 15 new titles per year, complements the IET's existing portfolio of 300 books and e-books. Dudley Kay, founder and President of SciTech Publishing, will continue to manage and grow the SciTech imprint list of books for the IET.
The move is part of the IET's continuing strategy to grow its academic publishing division through the acquisition of titles, as well as through the organic growth of its international readership. The acquisition expands and strengthens the IET's existing essential engineering product range, including its comprehensive Inspec database of quality research abstracts and its journals and magazines, available to a global audience.
Highly valued by engineering practitioners, SciTech's list includes the best-selling radar references 'Introduction to Airborne Radar, 2nd Edition' by George W. Stimson and 'Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles' by Mark A. Richards et al, as well as advanced textbooks and references in antennas, microwaves/RF and electromagnetics theory.
The IET's existing electrical engineering books and journals include Radar, Sonar & Navigation and Electromagnetic Waves & Electrical Measurement. This enhanced knowledge base will also support the IET's international conference on radar systems, Radar 2012 (Glasgow, UK) and be prominent at RadarCon 2012 (Atlanta, GA).
