I'm a basic techie at heart and love this series of reference books so much that I have ordered books 1-3 to complete my set. Each book is well written and contains the information I find helpful in my person "Techie" pursuits. Thanks to both Amazon and the Authors! Great Job!!

If you are a beginner, a hobbyist, or just someone who is interested in learning about different electronic components, you will absolutely enjoy this series. In these very inexpensive volumes, you will find that they provide the most essential, and up to date information, as to what a particular component is, how it is used, and what to expect from it. Most importantly, these books are extremely easy to use and to understand. Are you tired of having to go to a computer or potable device each time you want to look up a component? I find it much easier to just thumb through the index for what I'm looking for, than to have to perform a search online for each component every time. I am confident that you will be amazed as to just how much useful information that there actually is for each component in these "encylopedias." This particular volume is number 3, and hopefully it is just another addition to many more to come. You don't need feel as though you have to buy all three of the volumes at once, or ever, but I'm a firm believer, that if you need something from one volume, I guarantee that you'll definitely need something from any of the others as well. I purchased volumes 1 & 2 at the same time, I just wish that volume 3 would had been available at the same time too; but I can appreciate that there is always new information being added. I highly recommend this series of encylopedias to anyone who is interested in the world of electronics technology!

I purchased all of Charles Platt's Make: books in the series and they are all just packed with knowledge and beautifully laid out. I highly recommend these books for anyone looking to get into the world of electronics. Another wonderful feature about these books is, if you have any questions about any of the content in these books, Charles will personally reply to answer your quarries. Be sure to check out all the books in this series!!!

Terrific book in an exceptional series

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2016

I heartily recommend not just this book, but the entire three volume series on components that this book completes. As an electronics engineer, I'm in a position to judge the quality of these books and I've been blown away by how good they are ever since the first one came out. However, these books are not just for engineers but for everyone with an interest in electronics. This one describes the principals behind the sensors, but is unable to get into great detail as it covers such a range of components it would require a series of manuals to do that. But it exposes the reader to what's out there, how they work, how one uses them, what can go wrong and what one should watch out for. Fantastic book.

GOAT = Greatest Of All Time

I’ve always wanted to learn about electronic components. This book is the greatest book that explains the components in great detail. Not only does he tell you how it works and what it’s function is, he tells you the application and what can go wrong. If all books were written like this I would be able to learn anything easily. Can’t say enough good things about this book. I have just ordered #2 & #3. Wish he had more. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
