Dave,

Check out this URL for "Who's Who in Power Electronics". Robert Ericsson
from the University of Colorado has published an excellent book on the
fundamentals. ANYTHING published by the guys on that list will be excellent.

Also, subscribe to Power Electronics Technology magazine and check out
their website (www.powerelectronics.com)
