Hacking Electronics: An Illustrated DIY Guide for Makers and Hobbyists (Monk, S.; 2013) [On the Shelf]

This book explores using, adapting, and developing knowledge as you build and teaches you how to create many useful items. Included in every chapter are vivid color illustrations with apt headings, such as "what you need," along with short directions with tips that teach principles and practices. This practical book might help highly theoretical roboticists who get bogged down in abstract models bridge the gap between theory and practice. This book further lives up to its "hacking" name by showing ways of evolving an object, taking it from one context into another, and adding functions and new uses.
