From the 1980s to the present I decided to have some fun and add humor to the world of process control literature. The result was a series of books
How to Become an Instrument Engineer – The Making of a Prima Donna
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Control Room
How to Become an Instrument Engineer – Part 1.523
Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am
Dispersing Heat Through Conviction – The Funnier Side of Process Control
The Life and Times of an Automation Professional – An Illustrated Guide
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Control Room is my favorite because it presented detailed results of solving tough process control problems in a creative way to help open minds to new possibilities and concepts. This book is out of print but thanks to Deborah Franke at Emerson Process Management, it can be viewed for free in its electronic form via the following link.
