The Medieval Menagerie: Animals in the Art of the Middle Ages

Book Description

From discrete components, to linear integrated circuits, to programmable analog devices, this popular, up-to-date devices book takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps learners see how the circuit relates to the overall system function. Floyd is well known for straightforward, understandable explanations of complex concepts, as well as for non-technical, on-target treatment of mathematics. Coverage is carefully balanced between discrete and integrated circuits, while extensive use of examples and graphical illustrations makes even complex concepts understandable. In-depth discussions involve programmable analog devices, advanced integrated circuits, optical topics, and enhanced system applications. Also included— strong coverage of troubleshooting; hundreds of full-color photographs, illustrations, and system schematics; over 160 worked examples; 1400 exercises; and extensive problems using Multisim circuit simulation. For electronic engineers.

Simple enough to understand.......2006-08-27

I have several college electronics text books. Compared to the others this one was basic enough for me to understand the bare basics. Only after using this book have I been able to use the more advanced books.

I appreciate this book does not have the depth others have, but that is exactly why it helped me get started in electronics. I am self studying so I really needed the simplicity.

I want to thank the author for inviting me into the fascinating world of electronics design.

Handled Cancellation Well.......2005-09-06

Needed to cancel the order after I was given incorrect information by my instructor. The cancellation was handled quickly with no difficulty.

Not for university students..........2004-02-29

My teacher used this book (fifth edition) in a basic electronics course (university). The book begins with some semiconductor basics, the pn-junction is explained and this chapter is OK if one just needs the very basic understanding (which in some schools might be enough). The second chapter contains some diodeapplications and power supply filters, the third chapter is about zener diode applications and some special purpose diodes. Then he goes on with the BJT, FET and the opamp. The physics behind the BJT is very superficially covered but he explains the operation of the BJT in principle. The book considers the basic transistor amplifier circuits but a lot of important material is left out. He uses the r-parameter model as the transistor smallsignal equivalent model, which is not a very common smallsignal model. The FET transistor comes as the next chapter, and here I miss the physics behind the FET. Of course one can design circuits without knowing the physics behind these devices, but knowing the physics will give you a much better understanding. It should also be mentioned that this book is limited to low frequency applications. Further, he doesn't say anything at all about feedback in transistoramplifiers which is one of the most important concepts in electronics. One should know that without feedback you are more or less limited to one-transistor amplifier stages, at least for the practical situation.
The chapters contaning the opamp is good as starting point, although the basics could be explained in more detail. Most of the material in these chapters are limited to simple opamp circuits, and you will therefore run through these chapters without the need for any deeper analysis.

What an electronics engineer should learn isn't all contained in this book, neither in any other book, but I must say this book is unsuccesful because almost everything in the book isn't deeply enough covered. You will probably not learn to design anything (at least not well enough), you just learn to calculate nodevoltages and the amplifier gain in different basic circuits. What is also left out is a general discussion about some certain problems, such as practical considerations for example. You will neither develop your basic mathematical skills using this book, because the author has left out most of the math (although very basic math), formulas are sometimes just stated without a derivation and so on. This book is just big and heavy because of the big font size and the many big pictures.
One might think that I do not need a book that consideres everything in very detail. The problem is that this book is too far from that and isn't therefore intended to students at a university level. I neither think that the author wrote a book, which can be compared to other "more serious" books in the field. This is a book for those who wants to learn the basics without any deeper mathematical insight.

There is a lot of books in this field, and I could mention a couple of good books that gave me a much better understanding of basic electronics. If you wanna learn op amp circuits, "Design with operational amplifiers and analog integrated circuits" by Sergio Franco, is just superior and contains everything you need about opamps, and is also well written. Books which covers transistors quite good are "Mircoelectronic circuits" by Sedra/Smith and "Microelectronics" by Millman/Grabel. The book by Sedra/Smith is quite easy to understand and contains very good homework problems. The only thing I'm missing here are some practical considerations.

Good practical guide to electronics.......2003-06-01

I am an instructor and find all of Floyd's books to be excellent...the problem is that many students like the ones in this forum are ill prepared in algebra, trig, basic calculus and just plain old problem solving, plus some don't read English well enough. Let's face it, a lot of [people] are trying to become technicians and engineers when they should be preparing themselves for fast food service.

good for beginner but not well for studing.......2002-11-06

In my first studing the subject of electronic , my teacher decide to using its, and the grade is E in the end term . its not a good news for me and depression in my heart . In the strain , i do my best to read this, but i deed don't know what's is BJT CMOS pnp npn and what the DC current differents the AC current .
the resistance how to work , and how to compute the stand side by side or in the string .

Never buy Electron Flow electronics books.......2003-04-05

Electron flow is ok in a beginning circuits course (just AC, DC circuits.. without semiconductor devices).

But once u get into semiconductors.. electron flow is terrible. The world is built around conventional current, not electron flow.

If you buy a book with Electron flow.. ur going to see current coming out of grounds all over the places. A ground on the top left corner of a circuit.. a ground on the bottom left corner.. etc. etc... and it wasn't designed for it to eb like that... it's all designed with a +Vcc at the top.. and grouns all over the places.. current usually flows from +Vcc.. splits up into the different grounds.. with electron flow.. it comes from all the grounds.. then join up in weird ways to exit the +Vcc power supply...

This book is terrible (like all electron flow books).

BUTTTT Floyd's Conventional Flow version of this book is quite good

The maximum of the maximum.......2000-01-30

(Ajman Univesity of science and technology) This is the best book to understand the material .I challenge you If you read it and can't understand.

Concise, well written........1998-12-17

I started this book as a student at Withlacoochee Technical Institute, under the instruction of a student of the electron flow since his teen years. Since then, the education I have received has been profitable both financially and intellectually. The graduating students are sought after, the class has become well known and it can only result from the benefit of excellent text and a formidable instructor, who teaches from this book. Buy it, read it, study it and learn from a profitable investment.

Gave me insight on how women think. Much to learn and think about.

too many unrealistic made-up scenarios. there are some helpful tips but nothing different from any other dating books. . .

Caught in a web of lies!.......2004-04-04

On page 37 in the part about flirting props, the author mentions her friend "Kate," who attracted lots of men on the street simply by carrying a radio during the last game of the 1994 World Series. An interesting anecdote. Interesting because THERE WAS NO WORLD SERIES IN 1994! It was cancelled because of the players' strike. Moral of the story: When making up anecdotes for your book, try to hire a fact checker!

Great Book!.......2006-04-30

My brother gave me this book when I was 14. He thought I could use a little help being more outgoing, and he was right. I won't say this book totally changed my life, but it did definitely give me a different perspective, and that allowed me to start changing.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a little more at ease with themselves and everyone around them.

Honestly changed my life.......2000-01-29

I was working for Chase Manhattan Bank in NYC at the time and happened upon this book on my lunch hour in the WTC bookstore. At the time I was simply feeling that my love life needed more and I needed to somehow meet more women. I also picked up a few of Susin Rabin's books and even went to one of her seminars at the Y in NYC. Rabin's are also great books but at times too wordy. This book was very precise and changed my perspectives in 3 main ways. First it taught me to relax and enjoy myself while flirting. It taught me that flirting is a very natural action that we have all done since childhood in different ways. It made very clear- through words, examples, and exercises - that flirting should be and must be fun to be successfully received. Interestingly enough as I made sure I was having fun flirting and NOT trying to PURSUE - women naturally became very interested in me. Second it helped me to understand the types of women that interest me most and the types of environments that I am most comfortable in. This was important because it helped me to focus my flirting with those I was most interested in and in the environments I most likely to be more "comfortable" and consequently "more successful" in. Lastly through exercises and great humor the book helped me to become more comfortable with myself and the opposite sex. In fact I occasionally re-read the book when I am feeling down to remind myself to just relax and have fun - as you will see, great things often happen when you do. There is no book on Flirting I would recommend higher.

Fun, thought-provoking,quick read, a blast!.......1999-11-10

This book is a perfect gift to buy for people who are young, old, newly graduated, newly broken up, newly together, you get the idea. The book is light, but it talks about the difference between fun flirting and possible problems if you don't know the difference between flirting and hunting. Enjoyable read.

Book Description

The art of flirting and the ritual of seduction have been developed in response to the most powerful, compulsive and primeval urge in man - mating and reproduction.

As is the case with every ritual, decorum and rules have evolved over the ages, but the pursuit of love and/or sex has remained as a basic and essential characteristic of men and women alike.

This tongue in cheek guide seeks to explore what makes certain people stand out for their charm and power of seduction; how they do it; what are the places conducive to flirtation; and how each and everyone of us can discover the inner resources to captivate the object of their desire.

In an ever-changing world, certain things remain unaltered: physical attraction, infatuation, love, obsession, envy, jealousy, passion....

The stimulus of the above is a driving force second to none.

To understand and to harness that force is to win in what most of us perceive as a game of chance.

Book Description

Flirting is letting someone know that you like them, and would like to know them better.

Flirting has less to do with how you look... and a lot more to do with how you make people feel.

You don't have to do anything embarrassing or phony to attract someone special. Being able to flirt includes talents ranging from stimulating conversation to appropriate nonverbal communication.

Because self-confidence is a primary factor in attracting people, first we'll focus on you. Then we'll look at what to do with someone after you've gotten them interested. Learn to put extra spark into your natural behavior that will interest and attract others to you!

Good general advice but not more insightful than a TV show.......2000-10-01

How To Flirt has some good advice and general statements like "Flirting is letting someone know that you like them, and would like to know them better". However, beyond that statement, the book really doesn't go any further. The author has a website promoting this book with some excerpts from the book. Unfortunetly, like many movies, once you've seen the preview, there is no need to read the book. It's 90 pages short, including many blank pages for the reader to fill in him or herself and the font is oversized. I immedietly thought of when I was in middle school and would triple space, use large font, and a long title to make my paper technically meet the minimum length requirements. This author did the same thing when she designed this book; I read it cover to cover in under -1- hour.

What I was hoping for, and didn't get, was a little research. A survey on what guys/girls are attracted too; some sample dialogues where people successfully flirt with strangers/aqaintances; some sample dialogues where people fail to flirt and what went wrong. Anything concrete would have been good, there is nothing concrete in this book.

I get the feeling the book was designed to be used in conjunction with either the author or someone else giving a lecture workshop. Perhaps if used in that environment, it would be useful, but as a stand alone product it was of very little use to me.

From the supplier: Newspapers that are using greater numbers of freelance journalists in an attempt to reduce payroll budgets may be forced by the IRS to pay taxes on such independent contractors. However, laws regarding the taxation of independent contractors are vague. The IRS has constructed its own set of criteria to determine the employee status of such people in the absence of legislation from Congress. Freelancers can sometimes convince the IRS of their employee status and thereby save 50% on their social security tax. However, the IRS has also exempted some newspapers leaving freelancers in a tax bind.
