About this Item

Physical Electronics and Circuit Models of Transistors (1964) by P.E. Gray, D. DeWitt, A.R. Boothroyd & J.F. Gibbons Published by Wiley ISBN: none (because 1964 was before the book industry discovered metadata) Condition: Good (think ?laboratory-used but not exploded?) Sold by Crappy Old Books? Before Silicon Valley became a lifestyle brand and before transistors were etched by the billion into wafers the size of a tortilla, there was this . A 1964 hardback opus that dared to ask: ?what if we actually explained how these magical little three-legged things work?? Penned by four academic titans with names so authoritative they sound like a courtroom drama, the book leads you deep into the mystical land of electron flow, circuit models, and equations designed to make slide-rule owners feel smug. Highlights include: Diagrams that could double as minimalist modern art if you squint. Equations dense enough to be used as a radiation shield. The sheer thrill of discovering that h_FE is not a new London postcode. Circuit models so elegant you?ll wonder why your first breadboard project smelled of burning plastic. This copy is in Good condition ? which means it has survived six decades of lab benches, coffee rings, and perhaps the odd nervous breakdown of an undergraduate EE student. The dust jacket may be long gone (like the optimism of those who thought vacuum tubes would make a comeback), but the content remains as potent as a freshly charged electrolytic capacitor. Ideal for: Retro tech romantics who believe ?solid state? is still a buzzword. Electronics lecturers who enjoy terrifying students with the classics. Or simply as a desk prop to prove you?re serious about transistors, even if your soldering iron hasn?t been plugged in since the Thatcher era. Crappy Old Books?: bringing you yesterday?s semiconductor breakthroughs, today ? slightly yellowed, but still conductive.
