Book Description
This well-established guide to electrical distribution and utilization systems is written from the perspective of someone designing and installing electrical wiring and provides a thorough overview of the National Electrical Code. Important safety systems are addressed and explained, as are techniques for making the best use of electrical tools. In particular, residential and farm wiring is addressed, including instructions for how to select service equipment, modern lighting, and common motors. Extensive coverage is also given to commercial wiring, with a discussion of how to select wires to match anticipated loads so detailed that it will appear as an example in the 2005 National Electrical Code. Throughout, advice is accessible enough for the amateur and meticulous enough for a professional.

Too vague.......2007-08-15
Some very good information , but very vague on a lot of subjects. It would be nice to have more pictures and details of subject matter I have yet to find a really good electrical book other that the NEC CODE BOOK
Great book for future electrician!.......2007-01-10
I bought this book while in Iraq to study before I get out of the army and try to get under an apprenticeship. This book has helped me learn a LOT about the trade of inside wireman and the basic fundamentals of electricity from fomulas to installation of panel boxes to wiring an entire house and to which lamps will give the best lighting effect in a room. I am really looking forward to learning more about the trade. So far I have read it once and am already half way thru for my second time around. I highly recommend this book however, what I have learned about electrical is only from this book so I do not have a comparison.
an excellent book.......2007-01-10
It is an excellent book not only for electricians but also for general construction professionals to understand electrical details.
Big step to learn........2007-01-05
This book is amazing, we can read about to many real points in electrical wiring, actual information help about National Electrical Code 2005. Read this book is a big step to electrical wiring.
Best Book for All-Purpose Electrical Wiring. .......2006-09-23
If you need an excellent book for understanding domicile wiring and most other applications,then PEW is for you.The NEC book reads like Black's Law Dictionary ,fairly dry and abstract information.This electrical reference is the most facilitative wiring book ,i had the pleasure to read through yet.The most dependable wiring information listed around.

Practical Electricity - indeed it is.......2006-03-08
This is a great book. I discovered it in the Purdue Eng. Library while studying for a test. It really explained the material in a down to earth manner. The understanding I gained help me to know the concept, now I just need to work on the math. If Mr. Cook would write a book on Calc. and Diff. Eq. I'd be set.

Amazing update!.......2004-04-06
I've got 10 guys in line to get their license on my crew but not a lot of time to go to school. And if they're going to school get the school to use this book. If you've got the same situation, just have your guys pick this coursebook up. It's amazing and from a great old electrical name-Audel!

Introduction to Health Physics
ASIN: 0471951501 |
Book Description
Gamma-ray spectrometry is a key technique in the study of the decay of radioactive materials. Used by scientists from a wide range of disciplines, problems can be encountered by the inexperienced user because there is a deceptive simplicity in gamma-ray measurements which can hide significant pitfalls. To resolve this situation, the authors of Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry have drawn on many years of teaching experience to produce this uniquely practical volume, giving comprehensive coverage of the whole gamma-ray detection and spectrum analysis processes. Discussions of the origin of gamma-rays and the issue of quality assurance in gamma-ray spectrometry are also included. Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry is written with the user in mind and has the following benefits:
- Mathematics are kept to a minimum throughout.
- No previous knowledge of nuclear matters or instrumentation is assumed.
- Detectors and their associated electronic systems are discussed.
- Fault-finding guide ensures that any problems can be sorted out with the minimum of fuss.
Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry will enable all those involved with radioactivity measurements to get the most from their equipment. It will also be of great value to teachers and students in departments where radioactivity is studied, such as physics, chemistry, environmental biology, archaeometry and radiochemistry.

The essential reference work on gamma spectrometry.......2004-06-04
Gilmore and Hemingway provide the spectrometer user with the wealth of their years experience in assaying gamma samples. Everything from how to set up a germanium crystal spectrometer, how to calibrate, how to count, and how to document for universal acceptance. This is one-stop shopping for gamma spectrometry...including a comprehensive references list at the end of every chapter that provides the reader with their money's worth from this volume.
Book Description
This book gives a very simple explanation of how a basic electrical circuit is made up of a power supply, a switch, and a load. It also explains how to troubleshoot a circuit, and how to use a meter. This book is especially for the HVAC contractor. It concentrates on low voltage circuits for heating and air conditioning controls.
Customer Reviews:
Do not buy this book.......2007-06-21
Complete waste of time for professionals - too simplistic with no real troubleshooting for most components
Electricity made so easy to comprehend!.......2006-07-17
This is THE book to own if you really know very little about electricity. You will be surprised at how much you learn after reading this easy-to-read and quick book. This book will not put you to sleep. I admired Carol Fey for making this excellent and very approachable book to electricity. Beginners will have a fun time with this book
Another waste.......2006-02-21
Every book I've found so far skirts the real issues in Heating & air conditioning. They discuss very little about problems actually encountered in the field, systematic troubleshooting, or forget electrical furnace systems. Electric systems must be a real taboo.
Practical IS good!!!.......2003-06-25
Carol Fey has a magical talent: she can take a complicated subject and condense it into 80 easy and fun to read pages. Although this is a short, mini-text, do not be fooled; it is not a kids book: novices to experts in the HVAC field will benefit. Ms. Fey has written 3 such books; all 3 in my opinion are must-reads. Each can be easily and completely read within 2 hours. I learned more from her than the 3 semester courses I took over the course of a year in HVAC!! Probably the only book I have ever read that I wished was actually longer!! Thanks Ms. Fey; PLEASE WRITE MORE TEXTS!!!

Book Description
Practical Photovoltaics, the now-classic reference on solar electricity, offers a unique combination of technical discussion and practical advice. Physicist, lecturer, and solar-home dweller Richard Komp explains the "how" and the "how-to" of PV, while providing valuable information on the industry, new developments, and the future. The book is a comprehensive guide to the theory and reality of solar electricity, as well as a detailed installation and maintenance manual. A well-illustrated appendix offers step-by-step instructions for constructing your own solar module, a creative approach to demystifying the technology. Presented in a clear, concise, and understandable style, Dr. Komp's contribution to PV literature has been called the "best single reference available," "the easiest and most complete education on photovoltaics," "one of the best basic books on PV," and "the best of the books."
Customer Reviews:
Richard Komp: physicist, historian, and social engineer.......2003-03-26
Practical Photovoltaics is one of the finest, most comprehensive guides to the world of solar energy. The book starts with a beginer's course in solid state physical devices (which taught even an Electrical Engineer such as myself new things) and leads into the history of solar cell materials and procedures over the years. Next comes an in-depth discussion of the various types of materials, and how they are suited for different applications. He makes logical predictions about the future of some of these materials, and hints around at what new techniques scientists are starting to look at today.
In the appendix, he even describes how to assemble your own array of solar cells for those who wish to try a hands-on approach to learning.
Oh, yeah, one more thing: he has a decent list of recomended readings at the end of each chapter, allowing you to select topics that interest you to continue your reading.
