    Review by Mary Mercurio, BOOKSTAR, Huntsville, Alabama, USA                 BEBOP TO THE BOOLEAN BOOGIE                  An Unconventional Guide to      Electronics Fundamentals, Components, and Processes                  By Clive Max Maxfield Publisher: HighText Publications Inc. ISBN:      1-878707-22-1 Price:     $35 US Bebop to the Boolean Boogie is a brand new addition to the electronics field which will make a useful addition to anyone's bookshelf.  Bebop presents an overview of the electronics world, from the first fundamentals to esoteric technologies that may be commonplace twenty years from now. Bebop follows a logical path, with each chapter building on preceding subjects, but each chapter can also be viewed alone.  This makes Bebop versatile enough to be used by students in a class, anyone who wants to brush up on certain topics, or professionals who need a handy reference.  Whatever their background, readers will appreciate the liberal use of diagrams and the excellent glossary and index. Beginners will find Bebop's humor, trivia, and unconventional _style_ smoothes the path to learning unfamiliar concepts.  Bebop will give students an extra edge by offering alternative ways of viewing basic concepts, while professionals will find Bebop to be an invaluable source of information on current state-of-the-art (and what state-of the-art will mean in the future ). All in all, Bebop's unconventional approach and exceptionally wide range makes it an invaluable reference for beginners, students, and professionals.  I strongly recommend it as an addition to anybody's library.
