Newnes Building Services Pocket Book is a unique compendium of essential data, techniques and procedures, best practice, and underpinning knowledge. This makes it an essential tool for engineers involved in the design and day-to-day running of mechanical services in buildings, and a valuable reference for managers, students and engineers in related fields.This pocket reference gives the reader access to the knowledge and knowhow of the team of professional engineers who wrote the sixteen chapters that cover all aspects of mechanical building services. Topic coverage includes heating systems, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, fans, ductwork, pipework and plumbing, drainage, and fire protection. The result is a comprehensive guide covering the selection of HVAC systems, and the design process from initial drafts through to implementation. The second edition builds on the success of this popular guide with references to UK and EU legislation fully updated throughout, and coverage fully in line with the latest CIBSE guides.

Higher Electronics is a comprehensive text for electronics undergraduates, covering analogue, digital electronics and microelectronics in a single volume - at a level suitable for most first and second year modules. The text is highly student-centred, providing numerous * worked examples with step-by-step guidance and hints * highlighted key facts and points of interest * self-check questions scattered through the text * problem sections (with answers supplied) It has been written to suit courses with an intake from a range of educational backgrounds, and a minimum of prior knowledge is assumed. Higher Electronics has been written to be fully in line with units 8-12 of the new BTEC Higher National specifications from Edexcel. This makes it the text of choice for all students following an electronics / electrical pathway through an HNC or HND. The student-centred text is ideal for the new course, and follows on especially well for students from a GNVQ background. The style and approach of Higher Electronics is consistent with the new text from Newnes, Higher National Engineering, which covers the mandatory units (units 1-7) of the new Higher National scheme.

Over the last 40 years, Principles of Transistor Circuits has provided students and practitioners with a text they can rely on to keep them at the forefront of transistor circuit design.
Although integrated circuits have widespread application, the role of discrete transistors both as important building blocks which students must understand, and as practical solutions to design problems, remains undiminished.
The ninth edition has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest technology and applications, including computer circuit simulation, and many diagrams have been revised to bring them in line with current usage. Updated topics include thyristors, Darlington transistors, amplifiers, ring modulators, power supplies, optoelectronics and logic circuits.

Stan Amos, formerly head of Technical Publications Section Engineering Training Department BBC, has been writing about electronics since the 1950s.
