I'm a lot like that bio student -- electronics is my hobby, and my academic training was split between bio and psych. Books by Don Lancaster are extremely good. They are chock-full o' information, and easy to read. "TTL Cookbook", "CMOS Cookbook", and the "Micro Cookbook"s are usually available at larger bookstores. Certainly at NYC bookstores. Lancaster also has a column in Radio-Electronics magazine. Forrest Mims has written about half a dozen booklets of experimenters' projects for Radio Shack; I think they are called "Engineer's Mini-Notebook" or something like that. They are a bit cheezy in production, but Mims is another good writer, and teaches the fundamentals very well, too. Have I missed any good books to suggest? Please post them -- I myself would like to read 'em! And good luck, Jeffrey Bromberger. --David Twery

And good luck, Jeffrey Bromberger. Horowitz&Hill, The Art of Electronics, is the definitive electronics-for- non-EEs book, good enough and thorough enough that EEs have also been seen reading it. :-) -- "Read the OSI protocol specifications? | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology I can't even *lift* them!" | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
