Electronics $39.54 Electronics

Analog Electronics $65.95 Analog Electronics is a vital book for all electronics designers to have to hand – it will answer nagging questions about core analog theory and design principles as well as offering practical design ideas. The second edition of this popular text has been enhanced with concise design implementations, with many of the circuits taken from Ian Hickman’s magazine articles. Although not a traditional textbook, Analog Electronics is also an ideal course text for students at HNC/HND and degree level. The contents have been carefully matched to provide full coverage of the appropriate units in the new BTEC Higher National Engineering scheme from Edexcel. Ian Hickman is looked to by thousands of circuit designers for his innovative design ideas and clear explanations of the fundamentals of analog circuit design. This book is a distillation of Hickman’s design insights, introducing all the main areas of analog electronics. THE professional text for analog electronics Includes numerous practical circuit ideas

Transparent Electronics $195 The challenge for producing “invisible” electronic circuitry and opto-electronic devices is that the transistor materials must be transparent to visible light yet have good carrier mobilities. This requires a special class of materials having “contra-indicated properties” because from the band structure point of view, the combination of transparency and conductivity is contradictory. Structured to strike a balance between introductory and advanced topics, this monograph juxtaposes fundamental science and technology / application issues, and essential materials characteristics versus device architecture and practical applications. The first section is devoted to fundamental materials compositions and their properties, including transparent conducting oxides, transparent oxide semiconductors, p-type wide-band-gap semiconductors, and single-wall carbon nanotubes. The second section deals with transparent electronic devices including thin-film transistors, photovoltaic cells, integrated electronic circuits, displays, sensors, solar cells, and electro-optic devices. Describing scientific fundamentals and recent breakthroughs such as the first “invisible” transistor, Transparent Electronics: From Synthesis to Applications brings together world renowned experts from both academia, national laboratories, and industry.

China’s Electronics Industry $390 China’s Electronics Industry is a comprehensive and current report on the technologies, manufacturing capabilities, and infrastructure that have made China a major player in the electronics industry. Not only does it cover the past, present, and future of important electronic technologies, but also the pros and cons of conducting business in China. This is an important reference for any company planning a venture in China as well as those who have already taken their first steps. It will also be of great interest to researchers and policy makers who need to know more about the role of central government in promoting strategic industries and assisting national science and technology development. Much of the data contained in the report is from 2006. No country has burst onto the economic scene as dramatically as China has in the past decade. It is the world’s largest producer of many electronic products and has a leading edge semiconductor industry. This timely and comprehensive report from America’s leading authority is a critical for anyone who is interested in working with China in the electronics field including business managers, academics, government institutes, foreign investors, as well as those who are interested in the past, present and future growth of China’s Electronics Industry. If you are thinking about doing business in china’s electronics industry, you must have this book.

Grant Cardone, The Turnaround King, Stars In His Own Show On NatGeo

“America was built on small business, and many of them are in trouble today.”

Grant Cardone is a motivational speaker, author, and entrepreneur whose business success and entrepreneurial advice has led to the title “The Turnaround King.” Beginning June 19th he’ll have a new show on the National Geographic Channel called “Turnaround King” where we’ll see Grant in action when he tries to “turnaround” two struggling businesses on the verge of bankruptcy.

The erratic state of our economy has us concerned with the future.

It is no secret that our economy has suffered a severe turn down these past few years, triggering a mass shut down of too many smaller businesses, with many more struggling simply to stay open. Grants skills as a business turnaround king will be put to good use as he tries to identify just what problems each particular business is facing and the things they can do to turn things around.

Grant will come into these struggling businesses one at a time with hidden cameras to “mystery shop”, giving him an unobstructed look at the potential problems the business might be facing. He will then analyze these businesses and help them to come up with a strategy to turn things around and get back on the right track.

Turnaround King will debut with a two part special. The first episode, “Keeping The Gym” will take us to a Whippany, NJ Gold’s Gym franchise that's on the verge of closing. Gym owners, the Puleos family, are faced not just with losing their business, but are also in danger of losing the family home which had been mortgaged to keep the company afloat. After Grant tours the gym by using a hidden camera he is able to isolate several factors he believes are responsible for the Gym’s failures, including mismanagement and low membership fees.

The 2nd episode will see Grant analyzing the Straub family’s Buick dealership. This dealership has been family owned for 3 generations - for a total of 64 years. The recent bailout of GM led to many GM dealerships closing down and many, many workers being laid off. The Straub family, feeling a sense of loyalty to the employees, a lot of whom have been with the company as many as Thirty years, have been applying their personal savings to make their payroll. Was this the right thing to try and do? And will this business want to make some tough sacrifices if it wishes to stay afloat and turn things around?

Precisely what exactly is a turnaround?

As Grant states, turnarounds are normally associated with impending failures, however they may also be ascribed to individuals enjoying moderate success but would love to take it to the next level. He identifies 3 primary steps associated with a turnaround:

1) A commitment to turning things around
2) The ability to identify the true problem
3) The development of a fresh plan that will create the ideal situation

“Until someone decides to change, they will not, regardless of the need.”

The commitment to turning things around is the first step, and sounds simple enough, however, if someone continues to playing the blame game and making excuses, it can be a good sign they haven't yet fully committed to turning things around. When someone becomes fully committed, the finger pointing as well as excuses will stop.

“People become enamored with false ideas and old beliefs and even chained down by past successful actions.”

The next step is often difficult for most people. Sometimes it’s hard for individuals to recognize the real problems when clinging to their old habits. It is often tough to self analyze as people tend to lose the objectivity required to have a clear view of the problem. This makes it tricky to identify the true problem to enable them to begin studying step # 3 and create a new plan that will create the ideal situation.
