From the Back Cover:

Practical Electronics, Second Edition, is the second of the "Practical Series" texts by Nigel P Cook. It is designed for a one-semester course in Electronic Devices and Semiconductors. The previous edition has been used in a variety of settings vocational/technical programs, community colleges, and four-year universities. The text's flexibility derives from its practical and clear approach to the fundamentals of Electronic Devices. For programs that offer a DC/AC Circuits course prior to the Electronic Devices course, Practical Electricity, Second Edition, is also recommended.

Features of the text include:

• Four-color text design and artwork to help students visualize key concepts.
• Review questions at the end of each chapter subsection to reinforce topics.
• Realistic art renderings of circuits and electronic equipment to bridge the lecture and laboratory experience.
• A FREE on-line student guide, which can be found at http://www.prenhall.com/cook.
