Timer, Op Amp, and Optoelectronic Circuits & Projects

Easy to read with clear diagrams and good descriptions of each circuit. Most all can be put together using a breadboard.

Great reference

Great info in this book, I used to own the Radio Shack Version. Some of the pages look like bad photo copies. Not sure if its my copy or just a bad job by the publisher. Its readable and the info is what I was after.

Not much theory but practical circuits for the amateur.

Timely shipping and better condition than expected.

The engineers project type book, Timer, Op Amp, and Optoelectronic Circuits & projects is a selection of circuits you can build or expierment with if you like or are learning electronics. It is very similar to Radio Shack Notebook series booklets offered in years ( 70's) past, for the study and experimentation with electronics. This book is nore booksize and has a lot of pages packed with diagramed circuits of the previously mentioned components. Get one if you are into project electronics and would like some ideas to build on in the future. Worth the price if you can still get a copy, do so.

I usually dislike textbooks but Forrest Mims deserves a spot on my book shelf. I think of him as the Bob Ross of electronics. His series of books are incredibly detailed but simple enough that you don't need a math degree to understand. He gives you enough information to get you going in a well compiled, easy to follow way. Combine Forrest Mims with The Art of Electronics and you can teach yourself a great deal about circuitry. I believe this volume should come later in the mini series but if you are buying out of order, it doesn't matter. This is a great way to get a few ideas for working circuits.I especially recommend this for teenagers or even kids interested in Electronics.

Just works

Tenia tiempo buscando algo asi. excelente libro, muy interesante. Es una colección de circuitos aplicados para señales, incluye notas del autor y detalle acerca de varios circuitos. Considerare comprar la colección completa (4libros) y también revisar mas libros de Forrest Mims, es uno de los autores mas importantes en electronica y en proyectos DIY de los últimos 50 años.

Great book, as any other Forrest's book. Clear, concise and accurate description of the circuits as well as the theory behind.

This is a real gem of a book and the seller langton_info_england sold me a brand new copy though they described it as used. The details are little above my head at the moment as I am still learning electronics but this was recommended as an excellent book for building basic audio circuits; pulse generator, gated oscillator, percussion synthesizer, audio amplifier etcThe book is printed in a notebook style with hand drawn circuit diagrams and accompanying handwritten notes, it sounds like an odd idea, but when you see it, its practical because it is very concise (hence not a beginner book as such) and it gives the book a lot of charm, as if you had stumbled across a lost treasure.Regardless despite the age of the book, it has valuable insights regarding these kinds of projects that advanced-beginner to intermediates will value.

This might be a good book. Have not read it yet. But not impressed by the marketing method used on here. (Hence only 3 stars) The .com site has 19 reviews of this book. .co.UK has my review here. Strange that don't you think. Is there really such a big percentage of people in Uk not into this subject?? Alarm bells ringing. The .com reviews look like they have been written by paid up review writers. Some of them show hundreds of reviews all within same period. They are obviously not genuine. Some are a little more clever but its easy to see through those as well when you check their other reviews. Whether the publisher or author has paid people to do this I don't know. But its pretty pathetic. Some have other reviews of this authors different books as well. That is so transparent. Its annoyed me a lot, as I have just purchased this book before checking these reviews and noticing this obvious fraud.But after saying all that I received the book called Electronic Sensor circuits and Projects, which is part of same series by same author. So if this book is as good as that one I will upgrade my vote here. But my reservations above about dishonest practice stands.Update: just received book and it is very good. I will purchase the whole series.
