Most introductory books in electronics focus on theory while leaving the practical aspects for more advanced references. However, the sooner such matters are introduced, the easier and more natural it becomes to incorporate practical concerns at the very early stages of concept and design. This philosophy has kept Electronic Components and Technology thriving for two decades, and this completely updated third edition continues the approach with a more international outlook.
