The Penguin dictionary of electronics - Valerie Illingworth

With over 4800 entries and almost 400 diagrams and tables, THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF ELECTRONICS has recently been revised to encompass the fields of computing, communications, electrical engineering and music technology whilst retaining its extensive coverage of electronic research and industry and solid-state theory. This is the ideal reference for keeping abreast with the rapidly expanding and developing field of electronics.

VALERIE ILLINGWORTH worked in reference book publishing before becoming freelance in 1976. She is the editor of several books, including the Collins DICTIONARY OF ASTRONOMY and Oxford's DICTIONARY OF COMPUTING.
