Summary From reviews of the first edition: "If you want to be reminded of the joy of electronics, take a look at Clive (Max) Maxfield's book Bebop to the Boolean Boogie."--Computer Design "Lives up to its title as a useful and entertaining technical guide ... well-suited for students, technical writers, technicians, and sales and marketing people."--Electronic Design "Writing a book like this one takes audacity! ... Maxfield writes lucidly on a variety of complex topics without 'writing down' to his audience."--EDN "A highly readable, well-illustrated guided tour through basic electronics."--Science Books & Films "Extremely readable and easy to understand, you'll wonder how people learned about this stuff before this book came along."--New Book Bulletin, Computer Literacy Bookshops * The difference between the analog and digital worlds. * What logic gates are and how to make them from transistors
