(This is a basic book for anyone who wants
or needs to gain an understanding of
the components and circuitry which combine to make up this modern field of
technical expertise. It is of particular
value to anyone embarking on electronics
for the first time at hobby level, or for the
would-be practitioner who is still in need
of some grounding in the elements of the
subject.
Each chapter is clearly set out and deals
with a particular aspect of electronics.
The accompanying definitions, simple
mathematical equations and formulae,
and the explicit line drawings make each
stage fully intelligible to the layman. It
also offers him the opportunity to build up
and experiment with transistorized circuitry in 'breadboard' or printed-circuit
form.
The big problem that faces most beginners is interpreting circuit diagrams in order to make an accurate working circuit. The author describes and illustrates fully the meaning of symbols, layouts and various methods of construction, including
tagboard assembly, breadboards and
printed circuits. There are also helpful
practical tips on circuit assembly.
Careful study of this book will ensure a
comprehensive understanding of how
modern electronic components operate
and also the working of radio, television,
etc., and the function of transformers and
batteries. It will also provide the groundwork which will make possible the understanding of the usually more elaborate circuits described in so many of the books and magazines dealing with modern electronics)
