Understanding Electronic and Computer Technology

I understood, maybe for the first time, how electricity and electronics happens or works from the first twenty pages or so. I knew how to wire up stuff with positive and negative, but this book actually makes it crystal clear, clearer than I've ever seen, exactly how electricity and electronics derives from the atom, and that is the core of all other undrstanding. This is an excellent complement to Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, by Andrew Althouse et al, or for those on the more technical side of computer applications. Even software people can and should learn something from this book. Electronics can provide a better understanding of what's actually going on inside the computer when a C++ or COBOL programmer creates a variable register, rather than the traditional approach of showing boxes on paper with hex numbers in them. This book has a basic understanding for everybody as it moves from home applications to entertainment, medicine, and communications.
