5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, practical H.N.C and above
* PhysicalThis book is printed on high-quality paper and improved with colour pics and diagrams. The text is of good size for those who require specs to read.* Target audienceIn my humble opinion, the quality of the work within this book by this author is broadly around H.N.C level and later then strays into initial degree level later on. This is a largely practical pitch, and still with its signature of reduced mathematical content, apart from BODMAS rules.* What are the best bits?The best bits are carried from what's in the previous volume, 'Make Electronics'. And this clarity continues and explains what you may be too shy to admit you may not already grasp? This book describes individual components in enlightening ways, such as differing comparators and op-amps configurations - the LM741 and quad op-amp LM339 -, the simple transistors- the 2n2222, 555 timers, phototransistors, decoders and encoders and multiplexers, logic gates AND OR NOT NAND NOR XOR. And a major section of differing sensors is again very clearly explained. The great thing it promotes good comprehension skills with very tidy prototyping on boards that's is always a very handy skill and is a major help in debugging when faults occur.The reason why i estimate this book to be 'H.N.C' level plus is the problem of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'. This i experienced this type of problem in my H.N.D, and this book goes into great lengths showing the principles of this multi logic setup, even going into multiple boards carrying discrete components and not always with logic gates. The lack of logical mapping is an unusual oversight considering its pitch. A nice thing is that it applied a system approach, advising blocks in order to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' and then working down into the component level.* SummaryI enjoyed this largely practical book very much and devoured it over a week. Its refreshed lots of my half-forgotten studies and gave me pleasure to read. The author explains on page 323 his background and this may surprise?
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
Another excellent book by Charles Platt. The first book MAKE: Electronics is probably one of the best entry level books for people interested in learning electronics. While I still work my way through MAKE: More Electronics I think it's a worthy sequel.The book picks up where the first book left off and this time deals with more advanced concepts. What the books share in common is the author's writing style. Charles Platt can write about complicated things in easy to follow manner giving great level of details. Later chapters reveal some (at first glance) really intricate circuits which gives me something to look forward to. Quality photos and wiring diagrams help to break blocks of text down making everything look nice and clear. If you're going to go cover to cover through the book there's even a shopping list at the end.Overall the book is a joy to have. It's a combination of quality content and great MAKE aesthetics!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent follow up to " Make Electronics"
Excellent book. One of the best learning books I've used. Well written, clear explanations of what is actually happening when constructing and using the completed circuits. The illustrations are first class to compliment the text. If this book and the first one "Make Electronics" by the same author Charles Platt were available in hardback versions at double the cost they would still be worth every penny.
4.0 out of 5 stars Made for the Amateur.
Good book down to earth.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. If you have the first one, then buy this one.
It is a good book. I have the first one, and this follows on nicely. Not everyone will like it, but they are written in a fun style, his emphasis is on telling you how something works, then getting you to try a few actual examples to see the effect for yourself. He's very light on maths (ok, personally I'd rather there were a little more), but heavy on actually doing projects to learn and see the effects. Even to the extent of intentionally breaking a few components to see what happens and why things happen, I really like these books and they cover the subject well.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book.
Bought this book as a gift for a retired electrical engineer, and have been told that it is an excellent book with good projects. Great value for money and a very easy book to follow.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good follow on book
A lot more projects of a different kind
5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely recommended
This book is perfect for learners and hobbyists written in excellent easy to understand language.I bought different books from other authors but found those rubbish then had to return coz not worth for the money that i spent to learn some electronics.These books from MAKE or Makezine are worth to spend to learn something and also the author is too good. I recently bought their 4-5 books.Extremely recommended.
Charles Platt : un grand pédagogue
Un livre d'une très grande clarté qui revient au début sur "La pratique de l'électronique", mais en allant plus loin. A partir du chapitre 3 on apprend à utiliser de nouveaux composants (37 chapitres au total) et à réaliser des montages dont certains trouveront l'utilité dans leur vie de tous les jours. On appréciera les suggestions données au début de l'ouvrage pour le rangement des composants, le câblage, les vérifications à opérer dans un montage de circuit... Pour moi qui n'y connaissait rien en électronique au premier juin de cette année, ce livre et le précédent ("L'électronique par la pratique") ont été à la fois une source précieuse d'enseignement et d'amusement. Encore un mot pour signaler les annexes importantes concernant les achats à réaliser. Je conseillerai néanmoins de lire d'abord les expériences proposées avant d'acheter. Peut-être le lecteur n'est-il pas intéressé par toutes les expériences et les achats qui en découlent.
Good!! Print and paper quality is excellent
The book is fully coloured with glossed paper. The language is easy to read.A must for electronics enthusiasts
Livro Excelente pra quem quer começãr no mundo da Eletrônica
Muito bem ilustrado,o livro explicita de modo claro e prático os princípios que embasam a eletrônica. Recomendo o livro a todos que desejam embrenhar-se no fantástico mundo eletrônico.
Excelente libro de técnica Electrónica
Me gusta todo, desde los consejos, aunque no soy inexperto los consejos y técnica que usa el autor son excelentes, recuerdas y aprendes conceptos muy prácticos
