Despite its title, it's not wild ranting pseudo-science to be dismissed by those with brains. Rather, Amdahl maintains that one need not understand quantum physics to grasp how electricity works in practical applications.
To understand your toaster or your fax machine, it doesn't really matter whether there are electrons or not, and it's a lot easier and more fun to start with the toaster than with quarks and calculus.
The book is mildly weird, often funny, always clear and easy to understand. It assumes the reader doesn't know a volt from a hole in the ground and gently leads him or her through integrated circuits, radio, oscillators and the basics of the digital revolution using examples that include green buffalo, microscopic beer parties, break-dancing chickens and naked Norwegian girls in rowboats.
OK, it's more than mildly weird. The book has been reprinted numerous times since and has achieved minor cult status.
Reviewed and praised in dozens of electronics and educational magazines, it is used as a text by major corporations, colleges, high schools, military schools and trade schools. It has been studied by education programs at colleges across the United States. This book was making wise cracks in the corner before anyone thought of designing books for dummies and idiots; some say it helped to inspire that industry. It may be the only "introduction to electronics books" with back cover comments by Dave Barry, Ray Bradbury, there are no electrons pdf download, Clive Cussler, and George Garrett, as well as recomendations from Robert Hazen, Bob Mostafapour, Dr.

Review "Amdahl's book has a serious purpose behind the flippancy and silliness: to teach electricity and electronics to mathematics and physics anxiety sufferers.
In this case, the heretic postures that electronics doesn't have to be so difficult. Kenn Amdahl is to electronics manuals what Dr. Though uncredentialed and unconventional professing disbelief in the existence of electrons even as he describes their behavior Amdahl is nevertheless wise, witty, and very there are no electrons pdf download, aiding comprehension of abstruse jargon and arcane concepts with gimmicks like dancing chickens, there are no electrons pdf download, wizards, and green buffalo" -- A Common Reader "Like a lighthearted melding of Mr.
Wizard and the folks of National Lampoon, There Are No Electrons takes a radically different approach to electronics. Electrons are little green men on their way to a killer party; capacitors are parking lot sized traffic jams; Greenies, it seems, like to surf on magnetic flux. And why not? Even the experts must speculate the details of electron theory. Amdahl just sees things a little differently. You will too. It would be a useful supplement to there are no electrons pdf download beginning course in electronics.
It'll seem needlessly frivolous and even flippant to the annoying minority that have no trouble copping an A in physics. For the other four billion or so earth citizens, it's about the easiest and clearest course in basic electronics imaginable. It serves well as a refresher course or a solid introduction to the complicated stuff. The presentation is accessible to a sixth-grader, yet I'd guess that most adults would not be gagged by the author's antics.
If you can hack this style of teaching, you'll get what you need. If only we could get Amdahl to write books on history, geography, grammar, math and brain surgery, we'd have no need for schools.
I lost 17 pounds in five minutes without dieting, and I feel great! We all feel somewhat dumb when it comes to electronics. There Are No Electrons would be a proper tonic for this there are no electrons pdf download Ray Bradbury "I think There Are No Electrons is a major breakthrough in teaching the elementary physics of electricity. It should be required basic reading for high school science students. Perhaps it will lead to a whole new concept of teaching. And that is an important achievement.
But, above and beyond the practical, Amdahl, with a magical energy all his own, has created a wonderful book about 'a beautiful and powerful mystery. I can't wait to recommend it to all my friends. About the Author Kenn Amdahl lives in Colorado where he has been active in the writing community for many years. His other books include: The Land of Debris and the Home of Alfredo, Jumper and the Bones, Joy Writing: Discover and Develop Your Creative Voice and Revenge of the Pond Scum: Searching for the causes of Alzheimer s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS and Parkinson s Disease.
He is co-author with Jim Loats, Ph. of both Algebra Unplugged and Calculus for Cats.
