The book has two main concerns. The first is to isolate the fundamental issues that must be resolved if one is to be able to formulate a defensible position on the question of the morality of abortion. The second is to determine the most plausible stand on those issues.

This text sets out to describe the basic principles and practice of personal computer servicing and is intended for the enthusisast as well as the professional computer technician. The aim has been to produce both a handy reference manual and a text which contains detailed background information. Chapter one begins with an introduction to microcomputers and microprocessors and continues with a description of typical devices. Chapter two covers the broader aspects of setting up a workshop as well as providing details of the equipment that should be included. Chapter three is devoted to fault-finding and begins by discussing common faults and the level of skill required in their diagnosis. Chapter four deals with tapes and disk drives, whilst five covers servicing printers and monitors, including the adjustment of monochrome monitors. The final chapter is a reference section.

Newnes Technical Books

This book sets out the principles and practice of personal computer servicing in a handy reference manual. It contains a wealth of information, including a large number of circuits and block diagrams. Some of the latest software diagnostic routines have been included together with listings and, where appropriate, actual screen dumps. This fourth edition has been completely rewritten to cover the latest technology such as 32-bit microprocessors and serial communications servicing. Although silicon technology is inherently very reliable, the complexity of today's personal computers renders them prone to failure from a number of common causes - and some that are not quite so common! In addition, other parts of the system (including such peripherals as tape and disk drives, printers, modems and monitors) may require routine adjustment and preventive maintenance. This completely rewritten fourth edition still covers the whole range of microcomputer equipment, but now also gives a guide to developments and trends such as the new generation of diagnostic software, code for which is included in the book, and applications such as serial communication, and memory and hard disk management. Reviews of previous editions 'A real gem. Some necessary theory is put over brilliantly...excellent chapters on equipment and trouble shooting, and the packed book ends up with a magic reference section.' Computer in Schools'This book is worth having to test equipment usage techniques alone - the other information is a bonus.' Electronic Technology 'Welcome indeed is Michael Tooley's exhaustive but easy-to-use book...it will go a long way to overcoming the awful problem of equipment faults.'Laboratory Equipment Digest'At last a crucial gap in the huge pile of microcomputer literature is filled - and this book fills the gap so well it'll be hard to beat.' Education Equipment 'A very worthwhile publication.' Television'This is an excellent book and recommended.' ComputingThis is an enormously thorough book on how PCs and peripherals work and what to do when they don't.'PC Plus Magazine, June 1995

Sooner or later, most PC users find themselves confronted with hardware or software failure. Some faults, such as those attributable to incorrect configuration, may be trivial whilst others may be more complex and require the services of an experienced "troubleshooter". The "Newnes PC Troubleshooting Pocket Book" provides a concise and compact reference which describes in a clear and straightforward manner the principles and practice of fault finding on IBM PCs and compatible equipment. The book is aimed at anyone who is involved with the installation, configuration, maintenance, upgrading, repair or support of PC systems. It also provides non-technical users with sufficient background information to diagnose basic faults and carry out simple modifications and repairs.

This student handbook has been designed to help any student understand how electronic circuits work. It provides the underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of basic electronic circuits including amplifiers, logic gates, power supplies, timers and pulse generators. The coverage is ideal for students following formal courses such as GNVQ and is equally well suited to those who may be returning to study or studying independently. Little previous knowledge is assumed except GCSE maths. The great value of this text in comparison to the many other similar titles is its practical nature. Throughout the book real circuits are described along with enough information for readers to build, adapt and modify them for their own use.

Higher National Engineering is already well known as the only course book for the compulsory core of the new Higher National scheme from Edexcel. For the first time, the HNC/HND programme is now based around 6 mandatory units. Higher National Engineering is a complete text for this compulsory core, including the two alternative Engineering Principles units (Mechanical and Electrical). Like the syllabus itself, this book is ideal for students progressing to HNC/HND from GNVQs, as well as A-level and BTEC National. The Revised Edition includes numerous minor revisions as well as a new section comprising answers to all the numerical problems. Written specifically for the new syllabus (Phase 2 units) Encourages independent study Clear and straightforward text Knowledge-check questions and activities throughout Maths in Action features put maths in context throughout the book Includes chapters for Electrical Principles and Mechanical Principles Revised Edition includes answers to numerical problems All core units in one volume instead of 4!

Basic Manufacturing has already established itself as a core text for manufacturing courses in Further Education. The authors' approach is student-centred with self-check questions and activities provided throughout. As a result, the book is well suited to independent study. It is also clearly written to appeal to students of all abilities. Review questions are provided at the end of each chapter to consolidate learning and give practice for external assessments. The book is also an excellent, readable introduction to the technical and business aspects of the manufacturing industry that will be invaluable for students on a wide range of courses, including City &amp; Guilds certificates. It also provides a good grounding for students on Advanced GNVQ programmes in Manufacturing. The new edition has been revised to be fully in line with the new Intermediate GNVQ specifications, covering the three compulsory units and the externally assessed optional unit. The second edition includes a completely new chapter on Application of New Technology in Manufacturing. A genuinely student-friendly manufacturing text Matched to the new 2000 GNVQ specifications Written by the UK's leading manufacturing textbook author and the Edexcel subject leader in charge of the new GNVQ scheme.

This book presents the compulsory core of the new BTEC National in a way that encourages students to explore engineering for themselves, developing the expertise and knowledge required at this level. As well as a clear and accessible text, emphasis is placed on learning through activities, and self-evaluation through frequent knowledge-checks. Practice questions are also provided, and will prove particularly helpful for externally assessed units. This student-centred approach makes the book ideal for courses with restricted contact time. BTEC National Engineering is a completely new textbook that has been written by two members of the Edexcel syllabus writing team side by side with the drafting of the syllabus itself. Mike Tooley and Lloyd Dingle are also both experienced engineering lecturers and textbook authors. *A new book written for the new BTEC National from Edexcel: compulsory for all new courses starting from September 2002 *Covers all 4 compulsory units now common to all National Certificate / National Diploma schemes *A fully supported text: photocopiable Curriculum Support Pack and free website
