Beyond the Transistor: 133 Electronics Projects (Tab Hobby Electronics Series)

From Introduction: "This book is directed to the electronics hobbyist and experimenter who is already familiar with bipolar transistors and conventional diodes. The devices covered in this book are the result of improvements on the original bipolar transistor. some of these devices have very specialized purposes. Others, like integrated circuits, threaten to overrun the transistor market because of their incredible flexibility and high functionality, yet compact design. By studying this book and building the projects, you will learn how to use most of the semiconductor devices now available to the hobbyist. No rectifiers, conventional diodes, or bipolar transistors appear except where they serve as auxiliary components to the main circuit. Any student of electronics, whether formally enrolled in a course of study or informally learning in his spare time, can increase his ability to apply many different kinds of devices with this book...."
