Clive (call me “Max”) Maxfield. The Foreword by Pete Waddell, Editor, Printed Circuit Design reads: “Personally, I think that the title of this tome alone (hmmm, a movie?) should provide some input as to what you can expect. But, for those who require a bit more: be forewarned, dear reader, you will probably learn far more than you could hope to expect from Bebop to the Boolean Boogie, just because of the unique approach Max has to technical material. The author will guide you from the basics through a minefield of potentially boring theoretical mish-mash, to a Nirvana of understanding. You will not suffer that fate familiar to every reader: re-reading paragraphs over and over wondering what in the world the author was trying to say. For a limey, Max shoots amazingly well and from the hip, but in a way that will keep you interested and amused. If you are not vigilant, you may not only learn something, but you may even enjoy the process. The only further advice I can give is to ‘expect the unexpected’.” This book gives the “big picture” of digital electronics. This indepth, highly readable, up-to-the-minute guide shows you how electronic devices work and how they’re made. You’ll discover how transistors operate, how printed circuit boards are fabricated, and what the innards of memory ICs look like. You’ll also gain a working knowledge of Boolean Algebra and Karnaugh Maps, and understand what Reed-Muller logic is and how it’s used. And there’s much, MUCH more (including a recipe for a truly great seafood gumbo!). Hundreds of carefully drawn illustrations clearly show the important points of each topic. The author’s tongue-in-cheek British humor makes it a delight to read, but this is a REAL technical book, extremely detailed and accurate. A great reference for your own shelf, and also an ideal gift for a friend or family member who wants to understand what it is you do all day. 471 pages. Order code BEB1
