[sdiy] DSP book recommendation wanted

[David G. Dixon]

Scott, I think that being "unsung" is the natural fate of our biggest
innovators, unfortunately.  I think that Shockley deserves a seat at the
head table of the most important innovators of all time, but you never hear
his name.  I certainly didn't before I got into this all this stuff.  And
yet, his invention (the transistor, for those who don't know) ushered in the
modern world.

Being a Chem Eng, one of my all time heroes is J. Willard Gibbs, humble Yale
professor at the turn of the 20th century.  Anyone involved in process
engineering of any kind is intimately familiar with his earth-shattering
concepts of chemical thermodynamics, but the man on the street has
absolutely no idea that he did as much as anyone to usher in the modern
world.  There are many others.  C'est la vie!
