Since I mostly like my science fiction in the form of
SCIENCE fiction
here is a way to take it siriusly.
Physics Demystified : A Self-Teaching Guide (http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Demystified-Self-Teaching-Guide/dp/0071382011/ref=pd_sim_b_pop_title/104-3215637-7071132)
TEACH YOURSELF ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS (http://www.electronics-tutorials.com/book-reviews/teach-yourself-electricity-and-electronics.htm)
The Art of Electronics (http://www.artofelectronics.com/)
STAN GIBILISCO'S RESEARCH SITES (http://www.sciencewriter.net/research.htm)
The Art of Electronics isn't for beginners so I looked for a book to get someone ready for it. If someone can get to page 500 in Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics then they should be ready for The Art.
I confess I don't like the covers of Gibilisco's books. They're silly looking. LOL I wish someone had given me a book like that when I was in 7th grade.

I highly recommend the Stephen Hawking books too like "A Brief History of Time." Very interesting stuff.
I just stumbled across something interesting.
OK, so it's not a book. Could be better than a book.

Didn't seem to make sense to start another thread.
