Summary: Old Book, New Electronics
Comment: This is an exlent book of electronics fo beginners and experts alike. It gives step-by-step instructions on building real lasers, imitation lasers, cutting lasers, sonic devices, ultrasonic devices, magnetic disturbance detectors, and much more. Requires little or no electrical experience.
Rating: 4
Summary: Unique book
Comment: This is a very cool book, but it really is not for the average joe. You get a parts list, and some limited instructions, and then a picture of how the project should look when it's like 75% done. It is hard to follow. From parts list to 3/4 done in a matter of like a page.

Summary: Serious Electronics
Comment: This book teaches practical,
hands-on experience with some exciting
science projects that you aren't likely to
encounter elsewhere.
The ultrasonic listener extends the sense of
hearing to the realm of sounds above 20kHz.
The low-power one-transistor fm radio
transmitter is a useful tool to have in
your bag of tricks; it can be built on an
hour's notice, and for under $1.
It is an educational and worthwhile book.
That's the good news.
Now for a word of caution:
What I'm suggesting here is that you approach
the projects in this great book with wisdom and
an ability to think vigorously and persistently.
On one hand, If you mangage to complete and operate
all this book's projects, including adjustment of the
high-voltage supply of the cutting CO2 laser, and still
have not qualified for a postumous Darwin Award, then you
have demonstrated you are either a bizzarrely lucky fool
or a master technician who has the iron will to stay
alive by sticking to impeccable safety procedures.
And before you make your own homemade EMP generator,
consider that, at the time Mr. Ianinni wrote
this wonderous book, the electronic landscape
was much less involved, without the so many
co$tly thing$ like cell phone$ and PDA$ in it.
The radius of de$truction could lead irate
villagers (now reduced to a technological level of
torches and pitchforks) directly to your laboratory.
At least one of the devices i.e taser, have gotten
negative legislative attention since the book was
first published.
Ok; so now you know some of these projects
are genuinely hazardous.
Take care. Pay attention. Get old.
Keep one hand in your pocket.
