The text then relates these fundamentals to three real-world examples: Intel’s 8085, Motorola’s 6800, and the 6502 chip used by Apple Computers. Instructors can focus on just one of these popular microprocessors, or include the features of others. This edition correlates closely with popular chip trainers and includes added coverage of the Intel 8088 16-bit microprocessors. It also includes a student version of the TASM cross-assembler software program. <P> Experiments for Digital Computer Electronics, prepared expressly for this Third Edition, contains hardware and software experiments that allow students to expand upon the topics covered in the text through hands-on exercises.

Clear and concise explanations of basic principles and digital circuit components made this a valuable reference and study book for me. In fact, as a result of reading this book on my own, I was able to test out of the introductory digital circuits class at my college and get into the second semester class. The book was a standard textbook for years at the colleges near my home, and it has taught thousands of electronic hobbyists, technicians, and engineers over the last 20 years this important field of electronics.

Many of the same books that first became available in the late 1970s and early 1980s are still being used as basic texts. In the 20+ years since these were written, the basic rules have not changed, but they do not provide strong links to modern electronics including CMOS logic, Programmable Logic Devices and microprocessor/microcontroller interfacing. Courses teaching introductory digital electronics will fill in the missing areas of information for students, but neither the instructors nor students have resources to explain modern technology and interfaces. One assumption made by all the standard texts is that experimenting with digital electronics cannot be done easily - in the proposed book, "digital guru" Myke Predko will show how readers can set up their own apparatus for experimenting with digital electronics for less than $10.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> Excellent Introduction Book<br><br />This is an excellent book for the hobbyist looking to get started with electronics or anyone who needs some clarification on some aspects of digital electronics. The book describes things clearly and in a simple manner so that the basics are easy to grasp, and then brings in the gory details required to fully understand it. This has usually been the failing point of the other books on the subject I have tried to read; they do not make the very basic concepts easy to understand. I will admit, most of the material in the first few chapters (Boolean logic, electronic components, etc.) was a review for me. Someone looking at this material for the first time may require a few read-throughs of this material. Don't get discouraged and have patience! Everything begins to come together in the later chapters, so don't worry if you don't completely understand everything the first time it is introduced. <br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> An intriguing book...<br><br />I bought this book the other day, as I have often wondered exactly how boolean logic got instantiated in electronic devices, but couldn't seem to get past the first few pages of most intro texts. The author's style of writing is very engaging, and easy to follow. I was able to get through the first couple chapters sitting in the book store! I am looking forward to finishing the book, as it promises to provide me with a good grounding in this area. The biggest difference I saw in this book was the careful stepping from boolean logic at a simple level to more complex logic while simultaneously showing how it can work in circuit-form. Most books give the basics, then jump right into the circuit design as if you already get how to make the leap, (and I couldn't seem to get there on my own!!!)<br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071441417/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-40584521162898088782009-03-05T18:02:00.002-08:002009-03-05T18:03:16.822-08:00Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting<p><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071461868/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1' target=_blank ><img hspace=2 vspace=2 src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5162ZdVPGAL.jpg' alt='Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting' height=500 width=390 style='float:left;' border=0 /></a><p><b>SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART GUIDE TO THE LATEST, MOST ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES</b> <p>“Ed Sherman is one of America’s great teachers and communicators of marine technology.”--Tim Murphy, Executive Editor, <i>Cruising World</i> <p>Whether you are a marine electronics professional or a boatowner, <i>Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting</i> helps you understand the new, more powerful methods of troubleshooting marine electrical and electronic systems. A modern boat’s sophisticated installations and networked electronics can stretch the traditional diagnostic methods based on trouble lights and multimeters past their useful limits. This book will show you how to: <ul> <li>Use microprocessor-based diagnostic tools and techniques from the automotive and communications sectors, adapted for boats for the first time <li>Diagnose the most difficult AC and DC problems <li>Protect communications and navigation electronics from interference and lightning <li>Seek out and eliminate stray-current sources and galvanic corrosion </ul><br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> New approaches to Marine Electronics for the boatyard <br><br />I just got ABYC instructor Ed Sherman's new book on Advanced Marine Electronics "Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting", it's a Marine Electricians guide to new techniques (Like TDR), new tools and methods for the Marine Electrician. It's an adjunct to the powerboaters guide.<br /><br /><br /><br />BTW: TDR Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is based in conductor reflection timing (on a return pulse) which used in testing wiring and optical fiber.<br /><br /><br /><br />Minor Wants: More. I'd have liked a deeper Oscilloscope section and more engine electronics (J1939) stuff and NMEA2000. Pictures are profuse and clear. I started reading the ASE Advanced Performance series in conjunction with this book and would have liked more of the engine electronics integration knowledge brought here. (Picoscope type stuff). Would also like selection criteria for quality electronics (e.g. explain NITS or candela and contrast levels for visibility, a better explanation on pulse width modulation and motor control where the terms are used in the text. Explaining the NMEA 2000 technical architecture deeper would be nice. The author states that it is an additional book for the ABYC electrician and electronics installer, but some basics on electronics would help. 200 pages is too short, but it's a great book.<br /><br /><br /><br />BTW: Pulse Width modulation (PWM) is a means of controlling a (DC) motor's speed by providing longer or shorter pulses (from a onboard systems microprocessor). More "On" time means faster speed. (Think flicking a fan switch on and off.)<br /><br /><br /><br />This book is a must get, yet I am only left wanting more. A 2nd edition would be have to get. I loved the ground loop explanation and the need for isolation on network systems on boats. <br /><br /><br /><br />One of the best parts is the stuff the electronics tech can build.<br /><br /><br /><br />BTW: When electronics have more than one point of grounding, EMI (electronic noise is propagated through the system. Problems can occur with networks like cheap ethernet (which is why opto isolation is recommended) on boats where ground loop noise is severe. A ground loop is a bad thing, in your network and in your home stereo (causes a hum).<br /><br /><br /><br />Like any book under a million pages on the subject, there is a lot more you want. His advice focuses on hand held Microprocessor test tools. This is excellent guidance for average marine electronics tech, although I am not likely to give up my old Tek 11801C TDR or my SD-24 sampling head for the stuff I do. <br /><br /><br /><br />The old technique, new technique section locked in the 5 star rating for me.<br /><br /><br /><br />Recommended Read and own<br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071461868/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-73257344853411834842009-03-05T18:02:00.001-08:002009-03-05T18:02:45.151-08:00Electric Machinery (McGraw-Hill electrical and electronic engineering series)<p>This revision of the classic text on electric machines has been updated to include extensive coverage of permanent magnet machines and variable reluctance machines.

Avoiding resolution results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, Dr M. Scott Peck, a psychiatrist, suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. He discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person and how to be a more sensitive parent. This is a book that can show you how to embrace reality and yet achieve serenity and a richer existence.

It cuts through the nonsense about how 'free' and 'democratic' networks supposedly are, and it offers a rich analysis of how network protocols create a new kind of control. Essential reading for all theorists, artists, activists, techheads, and hackers of the Net.” —McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto<br><br> <br><br> The network has become the core organizational structure for postmodern politics, culture, and life, replacing the modern era’s hierarchical systems. From peer-to-peer file sharing and massive multiplayer online games to contagion vectors of digital or biological viruses and global affiliations of terrorist organizations, the network form has become so invasive that nearly every aspect of contemporary society can be located within it.<br><br> <br><br> Borrowing their title from the hacker term for a program that takes advantage of a flaw in a network system, Alexander R. Galloway and Eugene Thacker challenge the widespread assumption that networks are inherently egalitarian. Instead, they contend that there exist new modes of control entirely native to networks, modes that are at once highly centralized and dispersed, corporate and subversive. <br><br> <br><br> In this provocative book-length essay, Galloway and Thacker argue that a whole new topology must be invented to resist and reshape the network form, one that is as asymmetrical in relationship to networks as the network is in relation to hierarchy. <br><br> <br><br> Alexander R. Galloway is associate professor of culture and communications at New York University and the author of Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture (Minnesota, 2006) and Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization. <br><br> <br><br> Eugene Thacker is associate professor of new media at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the author of Biomedia (Minnesota, 2004) and The Global Genome: Biotechnology, Politics, and Culture.<br><br></div><br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> defining networks as they are becoming essential social presences<br><br /> Authors Galloway and Thacker--with New York University and the Georgia Institute of Technology respectively--pose a dichotomy between networks and sovereignty. Sovereignty is the longtime, historical form of government and society; often described as "hierarchic." Networks, on the other hand as any contemporary person knows, are newer, postmodern, forms of social organization--or topology--and activity. The difference between sovereignty and network is the difference between architecture and biology.<br /><br /><br /><br /> The co-authors take a "more speculative, experimental approach [resulting in] a series of marginal claims" rather than a theory to try to grasp the essential nature and actual effects of networks; all the while recognizing that "the nonhuman quality of networks is precisely what makes them so difficult to grasp". With sovereignty, leaders--i. e., persons--and laws or conventions were recognizable formative elements. With networks on the other hand, there are no permanent nor widely-accepted leaders and no code of law or centuries of convention forming or even governing them. Yet, there are businesses and services such as protocols and institutions such as Microsoft and Google which strongly influence and in some ways determine the presence and activity of networks. The belief that networks, particularly the Internet, are naturally, intentionally, or inevitably egalitarian is misleading.<br /><br /><br /><br /> The author's "speculative" approach carries them to summaries and critiques of philosophers from widely differing ages and with widely differing ideas and even worldviews; among these, Plato and Hobbes, Foucault and Guattari, Baudrillard and Virilio, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. In accordance with their understanding that they are making only "marginal claims," they do not presume nor work to synthesize such diversified, in some cases exclusionary thoughts. The authors' wide historical and literary learning, however, with their patent familiarity with all aspects of contemporary computer and networking technology allow for continuous illumination. The play of the diversity of the content is stimulating rather than conclusive or even much suggestive.<br /><br /><br /><br /> "Nodes" and "Edges" are the two chief parts of the book within which the play occurs. Nodes (to simplify) are the businesses, or the sources, of networks; the protocols, programs, Microsofts, Myspaces, etc. These will come and go as the field of networks evolves, just like businesses have always done. While the nodes are essential, the authors see the edges are more meaningful for those involved with networks. The edges represent networks' potentials in that they indicate the human desire and choices which give shape to the networks. "What matters more and more is the very distribution and dispersal of action throughout the network, a dispersal that would ask us to define networks less in terms of the nodes and more in terms of the edges..." Yet, ever provisional in their approach, Galloway and Thacker imagine networks could be best comprehended "in terms other than the entire, overly spatialized dichotomy of nodes and edges altogether."

The book also explores Fourier analysis applications and emphasizes those applications to diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, and holography.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> Amazing, a textbook that's easy to understand!<br><br />I took a class in Fourier Optics and found this text to be indispensable. It explains everything very clearly and concisely, which is a minor miracle for a text at this level. I didn't have any particular background in optics, and was able to pick this up and understand every word.<br /><br /><br /><br />I do agree with the earlier poster that more 'physical' or graphical representations of concepts would have been useful as I tend to be a visual learner.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> Simply the best<br><br />Only the best will do - and this is it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mandatory reading for anyone involved in optics.

Only now, however, with "Electronic Literature" by N. Katherine Hayles, do we have the first systematic survey of the field and an analysis of its importance, breadth, and wide-ranging implications for literary study.Hayles' book is designed to help electronic literature move into the classroom. Her systematic survey of the field addresses its major genres, the challenges it poses to traditional literary theory, and the complex and compelling issues at stake. She develops a theoretical framework for understanding how electronic literature both draws on the print tradition and requires new reading and interpretive strategies. Grounding her approach in the evolutionary dynamic between humans and technology, Hayles argues that neither the body nor the machine should be given absolute theoretical priority. Rather, she focuses on the interconnections between embodied writers and users and the intelligent machines that perform electronic texts.Through close readings of important works, Hayles demonstrates that a new mode of narration is emerging that differs significantly from previous models. Key to her argument is the observation that almost all contemporary literature has its genesis as electronic files, so that print becomes a specific mode for electronic text rather than an entirely different medium. Hayles illustrates the implications of this condition with three contemporary novels that bear the mark of the digital.Included with the book is a CD, "The Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 1", containing sixty new and recent works of electronic literature with keyword index, authors' notes, and editorial headnotes. Representing multiple modalities of electronic writing - hypertext fiction, kinetic poetry, generative and combinatory forms, network writing, codework, 3D, narrative animations, installation pieces, and Flash poetry - the ELC 1 encompasses comparatively low-tech work alongside heavily coded pieces. Complementing the text and the CD-ROM is a website offering resources for teachers and students, including sample syllabi, original essays, author biographies, and useful links. Together, the three elements provide an exceptional pedagogical opportunity.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> Electronic Literature--Outstanding<br><br />This is an excellent book by well-qualified scholars of an on-trend subject. It is an essential book for all University teachers of writing classes and introductory literature classes. It is highly recommended for all literature professsors--undergraduate and graduate, because it is important to know the context in which our students are reading and writing. <br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0268030855/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-50259633155604319022009-03-05T17:57:00.001-08:002009-03-05T17:57:34.267-08:00Laser Electronics (3rd Edition) (Solid State Physical Electronics Series)<p><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/013706666X/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1' target=_blank ><img hspace=2 vspace=2 src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511NXE74XCL.jpg' alt='Laser Electronics (3rd Edition) (Solid State Physical Electronics Series)' height=475 width=333 style='float:left;' border=0 /></a>Best seller for introductory courses in Laser Electronics and Quantum Electronics.

This could have been a great book. But unfortunately this book really sucks. The author only gives partial explanations while he is deriving formulas. There is not enough information given to follow and learn the subject matter while following his derivations. This book should only be used by people who know how to derive all the equations. So if you don't know the material before purchasing this book then don't waste your money.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> An excellent reference book for lasers.<br><br />This book is definately not for the novice. This book covers a large amount of material in its 777 pages. I got this book as an undergraduate for an advanced optics survey course. It was a little sparse on the explanations for an undergraduate. In graduate school however, this text has come in handy a number of times to fill in the gaps from other books or in heavy-duty problem solving. His coverage of gain saturation, broadening and line-widths I thought were especially usefull, as well as his coverage of the ABCD matrices. All in all, a must-have for your optics bookshelf.<br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/013706666X/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-34765722257939217452009-03-05T17:55:00.000-08:002009-03-05T17:57:01.765-08:00Old-Time Travel Posters and Luggage Labels CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art)<p><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0486996611/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1' target=_blank ><img hspace=2 vspace=2 src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G7QP8485L.jpg' alt='Old-Time Travel Posters and Luggage Labels CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art)' height=500 width=375 style='float:left;' border=0 /></a><DIV>These colorful illustrations, brimming with nostalgia, evoke the good life at elegant hotels and resorts — from Monte Carlo to Pasadena and from Atlantic City to Bangkok.

A bit if work, but the results are nice.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> No Vector But Great When Converted<br><br />I must say I am glad that I read the other reviews so that I was prepared when I purchased this item.

The book looks like the pages were photocopied, and the book's pages are printed on one side only. Admittedly, the information in the book may be invaluable, but for that price, the book itself should be a higher quality.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mr. Coslick needs to tighten up his publisher. While it isn't always fair to judge a book by its cover, our human nature causes us to do exactly that.

Yet there have been relatively few attempts to understand the video game as an independent medium. Most such efforts focus on the earliest generation of text-based adventures (<i>Zork,</i> for example) and have little to say about such visually and conceptually sophisticated games as <i>Final Fantasy X, Shenmue, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, </i>and<i> The Sims,</i> in which players inhabit elaborately detailed worlds and manipulate digital avatars with a vast—and in some cases, almost unlimited—array of actions and choices. <br> <br> In <i>Gaming</i>, Alexander Galloway instead considers the video game as a distinct cultural form that demands a new and unique interpretive framework. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, particularly critical theory and media studies, he analyzes video games as something to be played rather than as texts to be read, and traces in five concise chapters how the “algorithmic culture” created by video games intersects with theories of visuality, realism, allegory, and the avant-garde. If photographs are images and films are moving images, then, Galloway asserts, video games are best defined as actions. <br> <br> Using examples from more than fifty video games, Galloway constructs a classification system of action in video games, incorporating standard elements of gameplay as well as software crashes, network lags, and the use of cheats and game hacks. In subsequent chapters, he explores the overlap between the conventions of film and video games, the political and cultural implications of gaming practices, the visual environment of video games, and the status of games as an emerging cultural form. <br> <br> Together, these essays offer a new conception of gaming and, more broadly, of electronic culture as a whole, one that celebrates and does not lament the qualities of the digital age. <br> <br> Alexander R. Galloway is assistant professor of culture and communication at New York University and author of <i>Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization.</i></div><br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> Not related to anything real<br><br />I work in the video game industry and have launched over 10 titles on both console and PC, 4 of which have sold over 1 million units. This book, while academically interesting in the abstract (and that's why it's not getting 1 star from me), does not describe anything relevant to the real world of game creation or development. It does not contain anything that I would recommend to my business as either prescriptive for development activities or descriptive of player behaviors. Other than the need to publish for academic politics reasons, I don't know why the author wrote this book.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> A smart approach about Gaming and digital culture<br><br />Excellent book. Until now, I have read the first two essays. In the first one, Gamic Actions - Four Moments, the author has developed an analysis framework for games based on the concept of diegesis. In the second, he digs the origins of the First-Person Shooter based on the film history. Definitely, this book will be an important reference in my doctorate research. <br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0816648514/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-56238896501208190242009-02-26T11:33:00.002-08:002009-02-26T11:34:05.026-08:00Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design<p><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471226939/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1' target=_blank ><img hspace=2 vspace=2 src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HVRbJU7iL.jpg' alt='Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design' height=500 width=341 style='float:left;' border=0 /></a>Offering step-by-step, in-depth coverage, the new Third Edition of Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design provides a cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range of 500 kW or less.

A brief grammar review illustrates grammar principles as they apply to broadcast writing, helping you refresh these essential skills. Numerous scripts, storyboards, PSAs, and promotional spots present key examples as you learn to write short, persuasive messages for radio, television, and new media. A new chapter on "Getting the First Job" reveals what you should expect in entry-level copywriting positions.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> well written, but out of date<br><br />Since this book is from 1998, it's quite out of date and doesn't cover many new media or ideas from the last few years.<br /><br><b>Customer Review:</b> For what it is...<br><br />This book contains a lot of information needed to learn about the commercial & internet world. The way the book is formatted makes it so much easier to learn. Even after I sell this book and after I leave this class, I will still remember all the information I learned because it was just that readable.<br /><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0495411175/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1'><b>Buy From Amazon</b></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074083475955739797.post-79119417577727657762009-02-26T11:32:00.001-08:002009-02-26T11:32:30.304-08:00Electronic Formulas, Symbols & Circuits<p><a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0945053304/timex-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1' target=_blank ><img hspace=2 vspace=2 src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RZ95RBPKL.jpg' alt='Electronic Formulas, Symbols & Circuits' height=500 width=308 style='float:left;' border=0 /></a>This Engineer's Mini Notebook provides a complete, basic electronics reference guide for the workshop, electronics hobbyist experimenter, or ham radio shack.
