Review: Ho acquistato tutti 3 i volumi dell' Encyclopedia of electronic components. Sono presenti praticamente tutti i componenti utilizzati solitamente nelle schede elettroniche, con immagini a colori, foto, componenti sezionati. Vengono spiegati i principi di funzionamento e i comuni utilizzi . Il libro è ideale sia per i principianti, per gli appassionati che vogliono capire come funziona un componente, ma anche per chi conosce già bene l'elettronica e vuole avere un riferimento a portata di mano. I libri si concentrano maggiormente sul funzionamento e utilizzo dei componenti, e non su calcoli e teorie di progettazione. È scritto in inglese facile, quindi va bene anche per chi non conosce bene la lingua. Le pagine sono abbastanza spesse , la qualità di stampa / risoluzione delle immagini è abbastanza buona.
Review: We finally got this book after it sat pre-ordered in our desertcart cart for a year and a half! Check out the extensive preview in the product description to see if it is what you are looking for. Platt gives a very good description of the purpose of the book when he writes that "...this is a reference book, not a tutorial.," and explains that each entry is made to stand on its own so information may be repeated in other sections. He also states that it is "oriented toward practicality rather than theory." Typical chapters include sections telling you (with words, diagrams, and photos): "What it Does" "Symbol Variants" (diagrams showing different schematic symbols used) "How it Works" "How to Use it" "Variants" (Similar components and also if it comes in surface-mount, etc) "Values" (Numbers associated with it such as amp rating, etc.) "What Can Go Wrong" (Things you might screw up when working with the component. Very helpful!) Some entries also have information telling you the pros and cons to using one component over another. We use the book as an educational source for me (Non-Science degree) and as a refresher for my husband (Electrical Engineering degree) and it helps us to figure out the best components to use in our own electronics projects. Lots of pictures and figures to reference. Excellent reference book and I will again be waiting for the third book! I used to poke fun at all the people who would moan about George R.R. Martin doing anything except finishing his series, but I had to check myself when I had thoughts of doing a Google Alert for this author to make sure he was still writing books!

So much knowledge that is so easy to digest. Usually reading encyclopedias would be boring but this one is surprisingly accessible. Makes me knowledgeable like an experienced professional in just a few evenings of reading.
