RECOMMENDED REFERENCE AND TEXT BOOKS FOR ELECTRONICS

LAST MODIFIED:

PURCHASING RECOMMENDED BOOKS THROUGH AMAZON GERMANY, IS THIS THE BEST FOR YOU?

This book page largely refers to Amazon.com in Germany. If this is not particularly appropriate for yourself then you might prefer to try pages more specific to your locality. Titles unavailable from Amazon Germany may also be featured on this page

ANYTHING ELSE APART FROM REFERENCE BOOKS ON ELECTRONICS?

Well feel free to browse down through the search listing to the below left of here. Who knows where your particular tastes and interests lay?. Consider putting the "desktop shortcut" [right mouse click now - 'create short cut'] on your desktop and coming back often. Everything helps you know!.
 

WHY DO I RECOMMEND THESE PARTICULAR REFERENCE AND TEXT BOOKS?

I'm sometimes asked about the books I recommend and use. Here are my principal selections and my reasons in choosing them:

1.  I personally own and use most (but not all) of these titles, of course some of mine are the older editions. Others have been enthusiatically recommended and endorsed by contributors. Again some titles simply come up on a regular basis from Amazon reports, a kind of "what others recommend by buying". Often some of these titles come from solid recommendations from the Electronics Q&A group.

Recently, January 2002, McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing sent me a number of interesting titles to review personally. I will of course present these book reviews in coming weeks.

2.  If you are really serious at all about learning AND understanding electronics you need many of these books in your personal library.

3.  The very modest (about 5%) commission revenues earned on new book sales through Amazon here helps maintain and, more importantly, expand this FREE educational site.

Amazon pay no commissions on used books so I need to provide you with an alternative. Of course you need to consider what represents best overall value for yourself, that must be your paramount consideration.

Here are a few real quality books I can really personally recommend with absolute confidence, all written by highly respected authors, some who are personally known to me. Don't be put off by the word "amateur" in some of the titles, such as the famous "electronics bible", The ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs these are comprehensive electronics reference and how-to-books.

Note disclosure: - I have affiliate programs with Amazon Books (FRANCE, GERMANY, JAPAN, U.K. & U.S.A.) and all details were correct when I last checked. Reviews - Portions copyright Amazon.com and/or respective publishers and/or authors.

ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS AND SECRETS OF AN OLD-FASHIONED SPY

by Sheldon Charrett

Book cover - Electronic Circuits and Secrets of an Old-Fashioned Spy
Book Review

In this information-run-amok age of pencil-necked pencil pushers, who can an aggrieved party call on for an old-fashioned spy job? Why, an old-fashioned spy, of course! Let Sheldon Charrett, the last of the old-fashioned spies and author of Modern Identity Changer, show you how to build bugs or take advantage of those already in place (be they cordless phones, baby monitors or cell phones); assemble a DTMF decoder with LCD readout or decode the phone tones without one; construct a red box for free pay phone calls; map a cellular coverage area; modify a Mr. Microphone to broadcast outside the commercial FM band; crack answering machine passwords in seconds; make a crystal-controlled FM phone tap for those annoying subjects who refuse to use cordless phones; defeat digital and spread-spectrum cordless phones with an FM phone tap and much more!

Many of these procedures in this entertaining, fact-filled book have not been published anywhere, and the photos and drawings make following them a snap.

This is the book old-fashioned spies everywhere have been clamoring for. For academic study only.

See my book review

Book cover - Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics
I've now read this one and a great many people have purchased it through the general link to Amazon. Highly popular, I consider that in itself a considerable recommendation.

Editorial Reviews - Book News, Inc.

Presented as a self-instructional guide for professionals, hobbyists, and technicians desiring to competently enter the world of circuits (ac and dc), measuring devices, resistors, cells and batteries, semiconductors, computers, and the Internet. The author adopts an informal and visually-oriented style, estimating that a daily hour investment for eight months and taking the chapter-end multiple choice tests, in combination with no higher than junior high school level math and physical science, will earn self-didacts basic mastery in this area.

Book Description

In the field of introductory electronics, Stan Gibilisco wrote the book. Now this gifted teacher / author has updated his best-selling guide to reach audiences interested in the latest electronic technologies: wireless communications plus computers and the Internet. Like its predecessor, the Second Edition is a complete self-teaching tool. Because it assumes no prior technical knowledge, true novices can use it at their own pace to master the fundamentals of electronics for work or hobbies....

MOST SECRET WAR

Dr. R. V. Jones

Book cover - Most Secret War
O.K. why is Ian recommending a non-reference book?. Because this is simply the most fascinating book I have ever read and, it is all true. This is not fiction electronics.

I am a particular admirer of Dr. Jones. Over a fair period of time I've read and re-read this particular book three times, lent and recommended it to countless people. Simply amazing the part science, electronics in particular, played in WW11.

When I first read this book (an earlier edition) I was left with the overwhelming feeling of being a real mental pygmy. Dr. Jones experimented with infra-red, as one example, back in the late 1930's when it was considered pure science fiction.

This compelling book goes into great detail how science played such a huge part in allied success in WW11. It covers the fascinating topic of the "battle of the beams", that is, radio beams.

You can not help realise that if Dr. Jones did not have the personal ear of Winston Churchill the results might well have been quite different. This text is Jones's account of his part in British Scientific Intelligence between 1939 and 1949. It was his responsibility to anticipate German applications of science (electronics) to warfare, so that their new weapons could be countered before they were used.

Much of his work had to do with radio navigation, as in the Battle of the Beams, with radar, as in the Allied Bomber Offensive and in the preparations for D-Day and in the war at sea. He was also in charge of intelligence against the V-1 (flying bomb) and the V-2 (rocket) retaliation weapons and, although the Germans were some distance behind from success, against their nuclear developments.

"Dear Ian,

I strongly recommend Microelectronic Circuits by Adel Sedra and Kenneth Smith. It's a basic analog and digital electronics book that no person dabbling, for want of a better word, should be without. Perhaps some of the latter portions are more for an Electronics Engineer in VLSI - but it doesn't hurt to know ANYTHING. :) "
