    There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings

    Textbook - There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings ISBN: 0962781592
    Binding: Paperback
    Edition:
    Author(s): Kenn Amdahl
    Publisher: Clearwater Publishing
    Number of Pages: 322

    An off-beat introduction to the workings of electricity for people who wish Richard Brautigan and Kurt Vonnegut had teamed up to explain inductance and capacitance to them Despite its title it's not wild ranting pseudo-science to be dismissed by those with brains Rather Amdahl maintains that one need not understand quantum physics to grasp how electricity works in practical applications To understand your toaster or your fax machine it doesn't really matter whether there are electrons or not and it's a lot easier and more fun to start with the toaster than with quarks and calculus The book is mildly weird often funny always clear and easy to understand It assumes the reader doesn't know a volt from a hole in the ground and gently leads him or her through integrated circuits radio oscillators and the basics of the digital revolution using examples that include green buffalo microscopic beer parties break-dancing chickens and naked Norwegian girls in rowboats OK it's more than mildly weird The book has been reprinted numerous times since 1991 and has achieved minor cult status Reviewed and praised in dozens of electronics and educational magazines it is used as a text by major corporations colleges high schools military schools and trade schools It has been studied by education programs at colleges across the United States This book was making wise cracks in the corner before anyone thought of designing books for dummies and idiots; some say it helped to inspire that industry It may be the only "introduction to electronics books" with back cover comments by Dave Barry Ray Bradbury Clive Cussler and George Garrett as well as recomendations from Robert Hazen Bob Mostafapour Dr Roger Young Dr Wayne Green Scott Rundle Brian Battles Michelle Guido Herb Reichert and Emil Venere As Monitoring Times said "Perhaps the best electronics book ever If you'd like to learn about basic electronics but haven't been able to pull it off get There Are No Electrons Just trust us Get the book"
