NEW! Second Edition Electronics Series

Friends,



My Electonics Series at http://stores.lulu.com/thomasscarborough has entered
its Second Edition. Interest has continued to be strong. Descriptions of
my three books follow below.



GENERAL DESCRIPTION. All circuits use a mere 6 components, or less. Seldom
does one find such compact circuits -- let alone ones that really DO
anything! Most of these circuits do something in themselves -- they are not
merely building blocks to be used in other circuits. Each book in the
Second Edition contains 15 complete projects, plus 20-40 tested suggestions.
Each book includes circuit theory, constructional tips, components lists --
and sometimes a little electronics history. The books are written with an
"education from experience" in mind. It is my hope that readers will get a
real feel for the ins and outs of electronics, as well as having a great
deal of fun. Print copies cost $9.95, and downloads $2.95. There are FREE
previews of each book.



FOREWORD. Alan R. Winstanley, On-Line Editor of Everyday Practical
Elec­tronics, writes in the Foreword to the Second Edition: "Thomas
Scarborough first caught my eye by contri­buting small circuit nov­el­ties
to the "Ingenuity Unlimited" col­umn of Every­day Practical Electronics
ma­g­a­­zine in the 1990s. Soon his ideas were flowing thick and fast, and
before long Thomas was author­ing superbly pres­ented construc­tion­al
articles of the high­est standards and clarity. Thomas has an infectious
enthu­siasm that enthrals and in­spires hob­by­ists, en­cou­raging them to
dabble with his mod­estly prop­or­­tioned but thoroughly developed
applica­tions. I am delighted to introduce this series, an ensemble of
simple electronic ideas utilis­ing no more than six com­po­n­ents. I am sure
they will enter­tain, fascinate and captivate elec­tronics construct­ors
every­where."
