This widely-used text prepares students for entry-level jobs in electronics, electrical trades and related fields. Its level and approach are ideal for both electronics and electricity programs looking for a relatively short, applied book covering DC/AC circuits. Additional chapters on topics such as safety, transformers, motors, instrumentation, and residential wiring are also included. No prior knowledge of electricity is assumed; the only prerequisites are arithmetic and basic algebra. Practical skills are emphasized throughout the text, and supported in the hands-on work provided in the companion Experiments Manual. MultiSim circuit files are provided, on a bound-in CD ROM, for those who want to bring software simulation work into their classes and labs.

Most parents think that their children are the most talented, most intelligent, and most likeable human beings on the planet. Even though this conclusion represents, for the most part, a biased perspective, when it comes to sport participation, many caregivers don't stop to evaluate the reality of their presuppositions and the total cost it takes to raise a star elite athlete. Three university professors, however, desire to paint a realistic picture by providing an honest look at the components necessary for one to become a star athlete. Counting the Cost: Raising & Coaching Elite Athletes is a template that will help caregivers see a holistic view of the necessary ingredients involved for a player to become known as an "elite athlete." Becoming a star athlete, then, is a symphony production composed of parents, coaches, and athletes all coming together to produce a harmonious product that is enjoyed and admired by all.

New imaging methods have proliferated in recent years and many older techniques have either become more restricted in their applications or completely obsolete. It is difficult for clinicians to keep up with these changes, especially since most practicing doctors have had little formal teaching in radiology. As a result, many requests are received in radiology departments for examination which are either inappropriate or unnecessary. This practical book encourages rational and effective use of imaging facilities, enabling a diagnosis to be reached as quickly as possible and avoiding unnecessary referrals. This is particularly important at a time when health care resources are stretched and the public are becoming increasingly aware of the possible hazards of radiation. The opening chapters discuss the general principles of effective use of the radiology department, the techniques available, the hazards of imaging, and the patient's viewpoint. Following chapters systematically consider good practice in a range of clinical situations. This book will be valuable to all hospital doctors and students in day to day practice, and in preparation for higher examinations.
