The Art of Electronics
Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill

Concidered by many to be the Bibleof Electronics, this is the thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the single authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, the original edition sold over 125,000 copies world-wide and was translated into eight languages. The book revolutionised the teaching of electronics by emphasising the methods actually used by circuit designers - a combination of some basic laws, rules to thumb, and a large non-mathematical treatment that encourages circuit values and performance. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the first edition so successful and popular. It is an ideal first textbook on electronics for scientists and engineers and an indispensable reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits

Making Printed Circuit Boards
Janet Louise Axelson

Synopsis
Almost everyone who builds or experiments with electronic circuits develops an interest in making printed circuit boards. Devices built on pc boards are small, lightweight, simple to troubleshoot and repair, and easy to duplicate - qualities that professionals and hobbyists alike can appreciate. This is a learn-by-example guide for entry-level technicians, students, and experimenters who want to learn how to build their own high-quality pc boards. Janet Axelson takes readers step by step from schematic diagram to finished project, demonstrating how to draw circuit designs, transfer artwork to pc blanks, etch copper patterns, drill lead holes, solder components, and repair and modify boards. Some of the topics addressed include how to use computers and photography to design circuits, how to make double-sided boards, how to choose and use photo-resists, and how to safely handle and dispose of etching chemicals. Axelson carefully selects her methods throughout to ensure simplicity, low cost, and speedy construction.

   
Bebop to the Boolean Boogie :
An Unconventional Guide to Electronics Fundamentals, Components, and Processes
Clive Maxfield

Despite a light-hearted title and an off-beat attitude throughout, this is a technical book, arranged in two sections, the first on fundamental electronics concepts and the second on components and processes. Coverage includes the difference between the analog and digital worlds; primitive logic fun
The author, Clive , 8 July, 1997
Musical socks, Virtual Logic, ... Nanotechnology
Bebop to the Boolean Boogie rampages through digital electronics, starting with "What is an atom?" and ending with virtual logic, holographic optical interconnects, and nanotechnology. Along the way we also discover the secrets behind those musical socks that your aunts give you for Christmas that play an immediately annoying tune when you squeeze them -- the socks, not the aunts).
The first half of the book introduces fundamental concepts, while the second half considers the way in which components are made, including integrated circuits, hybrids, multi-chip modules, programmable logic and memory devices, and circuit boards.
We close with an introduction to a smorgasbord of alternative and future technologies, followed by a wealth of appendices (including a recipe for seafood gumbo) and a huge glossary and index.
Bebop is for anyone who is interested in learning more about electronics, from absolute beginners to experienced engineers.


   
The Forrest Mims Circuit Scrapbook
Forrest M. Mims, Forrest Mims

Describes circuits for analog computers, voltage-to-frequency converters, LED displays, power sources, digital phase-locked loops, and optical fibre communications. --This text refers to the Paperback edition
Using commonly available components and remarkable ingenuity, these comprehensive volumes teach how to build and experiment with a large array of circuit types. Volume I demonstrates how to construct opto-electronic circuits, digital PLLs, voltage converters, and timers. Volume II shows how to assemble audio synthesisers, laser diode devices, power supplies, and radio control systems. Clear, succinct directions are provided for each of these circuits, as are hand-drawn schematics, detailed theories of operation, construction hints, and other useful information. Designers, experimenters, educators, and technicians will appreciate the well-organised, accurate, and concise information in each volume. These books also supply information about the basics of circuit layout and construction, where to locate parts, and troubleshooting a circuit design.
