I really enjoyed this, although it only took about an hour to read--it's more of a coffee-table book for a specific kind of household. :)

The photography is really beautiful, just keep in mind that many of the images use focus-stacking to provide a much better appearance of depth of field than is possible with normal macro shots.

I really enjoyed the text too, especially its explanations of what components are useful for, some of their history, and reasons why one might choose particular components.

Really good book to see the inside of electronic components

This is a perfect coffee table book . The pictures are stunning with in-depth view of the innards of circuits /integrated circuits . Since I have a electronics engineering background it makes all the more fascinating . Highly recommended for enthusiasts.

This is a really beautiful book. Less about teaching fundamentals of electronic components (though some learning is inevitable) and more about appreciating the technology. I really enjoy it.

Amazing

If you're interested in beautiful electronics, this book is for you. The photos are simply amazing. The authors put a lot of efforts into this hommage to the engineer who created these elegant and discrete parts.

C'est un beau livre qui explique comment plusieurs pièces électroniques fonctionne et comment c'est construit. Dommage quil n'y ait pas de version traduite. Le livre est de très bonne qualité.

The photography in this book is amazing. The writing is easy for all ages to understand. I can't put this book down, my kids are interested as well. A must for any electronics enthusiast or makes for a a great coffee table book.

Basic information presented in a very nice and interesting way. Easy to read and appreciate...

An amazing book for every electronics lover 😊

Muito interessante e com mais informação do que estava à espera, gera sempre conversa entre os nerds quando estamos na sala.

Despite having a background in electronics development, both academic and professional, "Open Circuits" introduced me to a new world of electronic components - their inner workings.

On over 300 pages, the book combines high quality photographs exposing what's inside resistors, cables, microchips etc with a few words of additional infos. It's not to be seen as a technical reference but as a work of art, revealing the hidden beauty slumbering inside everything carrying electrons around you.

Until now, every friend of mine has been fascinated about it, regardless of technical background. I loved it so much, I couldn't resist gifting a second one to my former teacher to present his students in class :)

This book is pure gold!

日本語版を先に購入していたが、仕事柄電子部品のことに関する英作文をする機会が多いため独学用に購入した。大変参考になっているけれども、両方の版ともほぼ同じ構成・大きさなので並べて見るのはほぼ不可能だった。ただ写真も綺麗だし、電気英語の勉強用の教材にはおすすめ。
