  Each week, I select a new book that is relevant to engineers,
scientists, students, hobbyists or managers. Most of the time they are sold through Amazon (I earn a
few pennies on each sale), but when possible, I present books that are available in an e-book format
that can be downloaded for free. The latter are much less available. After all, most people like to
be paid for their work, as I'm certain that you do, too.
Note: I just began archiving these picks in May of 2009, but they have been going on since about
2003.
Archive Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21The Official Arduino Starter Kit
 Don't let not knowing how to pronounce
"Arduino" (click for audio)
keep you from joining in on an immensely popular hobby / professional opportunity (Tip: the word
is Italian, so you need to make that circle with thumb and forefinger when saying "Arduino," like a chef does when talking
about a delicacy). Many books and videos have been produced to help you get started - for less than $80. The
Official Arduino Starter Kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. You'll
learn through building several creative projects. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic
components with a 170-page book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complex projects, the kit will
help you control the physical world with sensor and actuators

Spectrum and Network Measurements
 Keysight Technologies was kind enough to provide me with a copy
of
Spectrum and Network Measurements, by Robert A. Witte
(SciTech Publishing). Its contents will soon be the subject of an
RF Cafe Quiz. "This new edition of Spectrum and
Network Measurements enables readers to understand the basic theory, relate it to measured results,
and apply it when creating new designs. This comprehensive treatment of frequency domain measurements
successfully consolidates all the pertinent theory into one text. It covers the theory and practice
of spectrum and network measurements in electronic systems. It also provides thorough coverage of Fourier
analysis, transmission lines, intermodulation distortion, signal-to-noise ratio and S-parameters
