Electronic Sensor Circuits and Projects 
By Forrest M., III Mims
Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches.
Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer’s Mini Notebook is a compilation of three of Forrest Mims’s notebooks: Sensor Projects; Solar Cell Projects; and Magnet & Magnet Sensor Projects.

“His “Engineer’s Notebook” series of books for RadioShack are entirely hand-lettered and hand-illustrated to re-create the look of Forrest’s own laboratory notebooks. “
The Art of Electronics covers the full range of subjects normally treated in electronics books, as well as a rich complement of important but neglected topics: 
- voltage and current; passive components; signals; complex analysis made simple
- an easy-to-use transistor model
- extensive discussion of useful subcircuits, such as followers, switches, current sources, current mirrors, differential amplifiers, push-pull, cascode.
- JFETs and MOSFETs: types and properties; low-level and power applications; FET vs bipolar transistors; ESD.
- how to design amplifiers, buffers, current sources, gain controls, and logic switches.
- “golden rules” for simple design, followed by in-depth treatment of real op-amp properties.
- circuit smorgasbord; design tradeoffs and cautions.
- easy to understand discussion of single-supply op-amp design and op-amp frequency compensation.
- special topics such as active rectifiers, logarithmic converters, peak detectors, dielectric absorption.
The Art of Electronics
By Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill
This is the thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers — a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks.
The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brainstorming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the first edition so successful and popular. It is an ideal first textbook on electronics for scientists and engineers and an indispensable reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.
