Media Reviews
Extremely readable and easy to understand, you'll wonder how people learned about this stuff before this book came along. - New Book Bulletin, Computer Literacy Bookshops A highly readable, well-illustrated guided tour through basic electronics. - Science Books & Films There's something for anyone involved in anyway in electronics, whether as a mild interest or as a serious technician... The book is an excellent and invaluable resource for anyone who's ever held a soldering iron and wants to know what makes current electronics technology tick, and where it's going in the future. - Everyday with Practical Electronics (U.K.) This book is better than most college courses for learning electronics basics. - The Daily Spectrum Maxfield shows the best of his style, mixing deep knowledge of technical history with a great sense of humor and a strong passion for finding some (almost) unbelievable nuggets of trivia. On the whole, this is a book that deserves the acclaim it received since the very first edition and it should be on the desk of everybody who is interested in digital electronics design. - Electronics World, January 2006
