1.		Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency from Kessinger Publishing, LLC Price: $25.01 Customer Review: This book is simply a collection of Tesla's lectures. It is extremely long. I'm sure things would be different if Tesla was still here to give these lectures in person. It is not a fast read. It does allow elaboration of some of Tesla's ideas, but I felt it was an injustice that this edition... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.16 Customer Review: The initial rejection of discoveries in science has hardly altered since the days of Galileo. Disbelief remains proportional to the magnitude of the discovery, even when it is supported by experimental proof. This attitude prompted Robert Becker to seek public acceptance for his novel work on wound... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.	[no image]	Microeconomics: Coursecompass Access Card from Prentice-Hall Price: $98.89 Customer Review: I had a copy of this book which changed editions between my second and third year of university. I went to the library and compared the old and new editions, and out of the entire 600 pages, only SIX pages had new content. Three chapters had been re-ordered. The rest of the book was identical. If... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Ugly's Electrical References from Burleson Distributing Corporation Price: $35.98 Customer Review: This is one Ugly book! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. This is actually a good reference book if you want some very well written references for electrical basics. Ohm's, volts, etc... it's all in there. Symbols, terminology and examples are well laid out in laymans terminology and easy to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Getting Started with Arduino from Make Customer Review: This was just exactly what the title says it is. For getting started with the Arduino its a fine book if you are going in dry. After reading the book in my case though I had already found most if not all the material on various websites so it was redundant. If you have not done any research on the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.	[no image]	Introduction to Electrodynamics from Prentice Hall Price: $73.99 Customer Review: There is a cheap book that is an imitation that comes from India. The book only costs about $20 if you buy if from an honest seller. Some sellers are selling this book for over $60. This book will fall apart in about 3 months. It is better to buy the more expensive book from Amazon and saving... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		My Inventions The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla from Wilder Publications Price: $7.26 Customer Review: Nikola Tesla is the man most responsible for modern technology, yet hardly anyone knows anything about him. He invented radio. That's right, before Marconi. He had wireless electricity at the beginning of the 20th century. His work on wireless energy is the basis for cellular phones and all wireless... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		National Electrical Code 2008 Index Tabs from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $14.61 Customer Review: These tabs make searching through the NEC code book quick and easy. They are simple to install and, unlike other stick-on tabs, if you make an initial mistake in positioning, they can be carefully removed and repositioned before the final press-down for permanent positioning.

12.		Electronics For Dummies from For Dummies Price: $12.49 Customer Review: I was looking for help on using an oscilloscope as well as better understanding simple electronics, and the "dummies" series books are in my opinion very helpful and simple to understand.

13.	[no image]	Laboratory Manual for Microelectronic Circuits from Oxford University Press, USA Customer Review: Sedra's text is terse and muddled. If I sought to create a book which was difficult to understand, the first thing I would do is fail to define the terms in an explicit and clear manner. My stepfather, who happens to hold a bachelor's in electrical engineering called the text 'horrible' when he... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.	[no image]	Elec Cir 3e Hd Sup 52455 (Addison-Wesley series in electrical and computer engineering) from Addison Wesley Longman Publishing Co Price: $49.95 Customer Review: In the real world there is no help. I can see why schools use crap books such as this one and I can see why students who have taken this class earlier do better. The problem is students that have additional help such as parents, friends, father-in-laws and thus spend zero money and have well wishers... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		National Electrical Code 2008 Handbook (National Fire Protection Association//National Electrical Code Handbook) from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $126.50 Customer Review: The book came as expected and was in good condition.

Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics, Fourth Edition from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $18.98 Customer Review: One question I had on Chapter 13 is Stan does not describe how to get the frequency by itself in an equation when inductive reactance and inductance is known.

I bought his Algebra book to brush up on my skills... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (instructor's manual) from Goodheart-Wilcox Publisher Customer Review: I was specifically looking for detailed information on how to adjust a commercial dehumidifier, and the book just had short bits and pieces on those units. No real specifics on how to set up the pressures and charges for dehumidifiers. Otherwise, the book is fabulous. Great diagrams and loads... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		The Art of Electronics from Cambridge University Press Price: $200.99 Customer Review: Got this book as a reference on electrical components in experimental applications and I am very pleased.

22.		Prodigal Genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla from Adventures Unlimited Press Price: $11.97 Customer Review: This is the second book I have read about Tesla. While interesting, it read more like a fan's take on his achievements.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Practical Electronics for Inventors from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $19.00 Customer Review: All the reviewers who point out the numerous errors in the book are absolutely correct. I believe, however, that they fail to realize the true utility of the book by trying to use the book as the main or only source of info. They should realize, instead, that the book intends only to be the starting... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla : Biography of a Genius from Citadel Price: $99.99 Customer Review: Marc Seifer has done an exceptional piece of work in this masterpiece.

25.		Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications (5th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $123.00 Customer Review: I feel the text is a bit scattered. The message is sometimes drawn out and not as clear as it could be.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Say Again, Please: Guide to Radio Communications from Aviation Supplies & Academics Customer Review: Thanks Amazon for a very very fast delivery of my books. Sincerely appreciate that because I need them for my class. The book is great and would even be better if there'll be more exercises; i.e., ATC/pilot exchanges. A must-have book for student pilots. Thank you!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Fundamentals of Electric Circuits from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $138.98 Customer Review: Amazon sent me an international version of this book.

28.		Making Things Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects from Make Price: $15.00 Customer Review: This book isn't as good as "Physical Computing: sensing and controlling the physical world with computers" by the same author. Making Things Talk isn't as informative and complete. The bluetooth section isn't worth the buy, I regret buying this after the Physical Computing book.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Home Recording For Musicians For Dummies from For Dummies Price: $5.75 Customer Review: ....at least until I read Jeff Strong's book. I needed a book that would explain the basic elements of recording, mixing, and mastering.

Jeff takes the reader through all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Cross Currents from Tarcher Price: $9.41 Customer Review: The NASA, supposed to hire the "crème de la crème" of the scientific intelligentsia, aren't getting any further than declaring that "life is a self-sustained chemical system capable of undergoing Darwinian evolution".
