Makers
Bob Parks, Makers, O'Reilly
If you've seen the magazine Make you'll know what this
is about ... which is people making all kinds of interesting things
using some interesting components. This book is a hardback with
nice glossy photos and features a variety of people and their
projects. It is more an interesting overview than a howto however
and instructions are not included. There are URLs given though, so
people can delve further if they want. Most of all it is inspirational
and some flavor of each person involved makes it interesting in that way
as well. The projects include a spherical sleep-in treehouse, clocks
based on nixies, a bedroom tornado machine, a voice-actuated blender,
and much more.
