Text on Low Power Design Methodologies by Rabaey and Pedram

"Low Power Design Methodologies" edited by Jan M. Rabaey and Massoud Pedram
presents the first in-depth coverage of all the layers of the design hierarchy, 
ranging from the technology, circuit, logic and architectural levels, up to
the system layer. The book gives insight into the mechanisms of power
dissipation in digital circuits and presents state of the art
approaches to power reduction. Finally, it introduces a global view of
low power design methodologies and how these are being captured in the
latest design automation environments. 
The individual chapters are written by the leading researchers in the
area, drawn from both industry and academia. Extensive references are
included at the end of each chapter. 

Audience: A broad introduction for anyone interested in low
power design. Can also be used for a text book for an advanced
graduate class. A starting point for any aspiring researcher.
