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.

TO THE STUDENT
The early pioneers in electronics were intrigued by the mystery and wonder of a newly discovered science, whereas people today are attracted by its ability to lend its hand to any application and accomplish almost anything imaginable. If you analyze exactly how you feel at this stage, you will probably discover that you have mixed emotions about the journey ahead. On the one hand, imagination, curiosity, and excitement are driving you on, while apprehension and reservations may be slowing you down. Your enthusiasm will overcome any indecision you have once you become actively involved in electronics and realize that it is as exciting as you ever expected it to be. ORGANIZATION OF THE TEXTBOOK

DEVELOPMENT, CLASS TESTING, AND REVIEWING
The first phase of development for this manuscript was conducted in the classroom with students and instructors as critics. Each topic was class-tested by videotaping each lesson, and the results were then evaluated and implemented. This invaluable feedback enabled me to fine-tune my presentation of topics and instill understanding and confidence in the students.
The second phase of development was to forward a copy of the revised manuscript to several instructors at schools throughout the country. Their technical and topical critiques helped to mold the text into a more accurate form. The third and final phase was to class-test the final revised manuscript and then commission the last technical review in the final stages of production.
