Bebop to the Boolean Boogie

This entertaining and readable book provides a solid, comprehensive introduction to contemporary electronics. It's not a "how-to-do" electronics book, but it is also designed and manufactured, and it is a powerful and sophisticated electronic system. In addition to the technical details, it is packed with the details of the industry. It even tells how to pronounce the alphabet soup of acronyms that runs rampant in the industry.
