Cabling - The Complete Guide to Copper and Fiber-Optic Networking, 4th edition

Electronics fans have waited a long time for this book. Not since 1983 has author Bob Iannini published a collection of his amazing projects -- all of them fun, easy, and inexpensive to make at home and, best of all, seriously exciting and impressive!

Iannini takes the stuff of science fiction and science future and brings it down to size for the home hobbyist. Full of easy-to-follow plans and clear diagrams and schematics, and respectful of your wallet, Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius gives you illustrated instructions and plans for amazing pretested projects advanced enough for sophisticated electronics enthusiasts but described in sufficient detail to be built easily by newcomers, explanations of the science and math behind each project (i.e., you can explore different methods of achieving acceleration), frustration-free plans - needed parts are listed, along with sources - and most of these projects can be built for $100 or less.


Building Valve Amplifiers By Morgan Jones

If you actually intend to create, modify, restore or repair tube audio equipment, I would highly  recommend purchasing Building Valve Amplifiers, even if you are seasoned by many years of  practical experience. I am convinced that all readers will be amazed at the quantity of new useful  knowledge it contains.

Analog Circuit Techniques with Digital Interfacing

This book uses an analytical approach, backed up with numerous experimental exercises and worked examples. It is designed to deliver the core content of a three year degree course in a single volume, which makes it an ideal core adoption text, and an essential reference text for a wide range of students

A comprehensive analog electronics text for first degrees and conversion courses Dr Wilmshurst has drawn on his experience running an MSc conversion and other courses to produce this single volume text which covers all the analog electronics needed in a wide range of higher education programmes: first degrees in electronic engineering, experimental science courses, MSc electronics and electronics units for HNDs. The chapter on audio amplifiers includes an invaluable example of the application of SPICE simulation. Numerous worked examples and and experimental exercises to reinforce understanding. Covers frequently used SPICE facilities and display types. Takes into consideration the wider present use of CMOS devices in favour of bipolar.

This fifth edition was prompted in part by the great increase of computers in industrial controls and automation, which has produced computer programs that can simulate relays and relay contacts. These on/off discrete controls have eliminated the wiring and installation of hardware components in favor of virtual relays and contacts that can be programmed on a keyboard. The devices that perform these operations are called Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), or simply programmable  controllers. These devices were initially stand-alone computers that controlled a specific robot or manufacturing operation. However, with the advent of the Internet, they have now been integrated with the overall manufacturing process, leading seamlessly to integration with management, sales, procurement, and consumer satisfaction.

Grant's Atlas of Anatomy, 12th edition

This edition of Grant's Atlas has, like its predecessors, required intense research, market input, and creativity. It is not enough to rely on a solid reputation; with each new edition, we have adapted and changed many aspects of the Atlas while maintaining the commitment to pedagogical excellence and anatomical realism that has enriched its long history. Medical and health sciences education, and the role of anatomy instruction and application within it, continually evolve to reflect new teaching approaches and educational models. The health care system itself is changing, and the skills and knowledge that future health care practitioners must master are changing along with it. Finally, technologic advances in publishing, particularly in online resources and electronic media, have transformed the way students access content and the methods by which educators teach content. All of these developments have shaped the vision and directed the execution of this twelfth edition of Grant's Atlas.

Colour Atlas Human Anatomy 18th edition

The editors of this edition have taken every effort to ensure that the information contained herein is accurate and conforms to the standards accepted at the time of publication. However, due to the constantly changing nature of the medical sciences and the possibility of human error, the reader is encouraged to exercise individual clinical judgement and consult with other sources of information that may become available with continuing research.


Color Atlas of Anatomy - A Photog. Study of the Human Body, 7th edition

This new edition was revised and structured anew in different ways. Each chapter is provided with an introductory front page to give an overview of the topics of the chapter and short descriptions. The whole introductory chapter “General Anatomy” was newly arranged and supported with introductory texts, thus facilitating students to better understand the complicated “world” of gross anatomy. The large chapter 2 “Head and Neck” was split into 5 sub-chapters with an introductory page each. Furthermore, the drawings were revised and improved in many chapters and depicted more  consistently. In most of the chapters new photographs taken from newly dissected specimens were incorporated.
