But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn't cut out for an old-fashioned world. With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive?"--Provided by publisher.

Discusses the field of optical circuits--including fiber optics and lasers--and includes experiments that help illustrate the possibilities and potential of the field, as well as a variety of do-it-yourself projects for the home such as a lightning monitor, alarm systems, and fiber-optic data links.

"Demystifies electricity and teaches how to build electronics projects. Covers how circuits, voltage, and current work. Each part of the book focuses on different fundamental electronics concepts with hands-on projects"--Provided by publisher.

Explains how electricity works and contains experiments with step-by-step instructions.

Discusses the history of electronic devices and shares a selection of electronics projects that use LEDs and sensors.

"This plugged-in title helps readers navigate the sometimes-complex world of electronic innovation. Young readers can explore this exciting and popular field by learning the basics of electronic circuits and how electronic components work, which they can then apply to an idea of their own. They will be able to create their project using everyday materials and easy-to-understand computer elements. Important electronic innovators and their creations are profiled to provide inspiration for young 'makers.'"--Provided by publisher.

"With LittleBits, you can build your own electronic devices using modules that snap together easily with magnets. With this book, students learn the art of innovation through detailed explanations and hands-on activities built to foster creativity and problem solving. Fun, engaging text introduces readers to new ideas and builds on maker-related concepts they may already know. Additional tools, including a glossary and an index, help students learn new vocabulary and locate information."--.

When his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free, Greg misses the comforts and conveniences of modern life.

Arduino is the hot open source prototyping platform for artists, hobbyists, students, and anyone who wants to create interactive physical environments. Getting Started with Arduino is co-authored by Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi, and incorporates his experience in teaching, using, and creating Arduino.

Tells the story of the team of men, including John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, who were responsible for the invention of the transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey in 1947, and shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for their work.
