"The Electricians Workbook"        I found it amusing when an electrical worker that has passed the Master Electrician license exam qualifying as an electrical contractor asked me in my bookstore if I have any "cheat sheets" or "short cuts" for his workers in the field so they can determine at a glance what size wire to install. Good grief what is going on "out there?" I've been in the electrical industry for over 50 years, and if I've learned one thing, it's that there is no short cut! I'm still learning.        I started my electrical apprenticeship in 1956. Back in those days you were studying to become a skilled craftsman in a trade. Back then you were taught to "train your brain before you test it." Now after 50 years in the electrical industry I'm not sure what is being taught and tested. I'm not sure how many "electricians" are out there. Many are referred today as "electrical workers" or "installers."     It is my personal opinion that this book contains the type of exam questions a person should be asked to determine if they have the cognitive knowledge to install an electrical circuit properly. This is an excellent book for an apprentice or training class as it contains exams with answers in which to grade the student. Author: Tom Henry Item #671 - Price $36.00 "Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits Workbook"        I wrote this book to introduce troubleshooting so the electrician can keep the lights on and the machinery running. I have found in my travels and teaching, from the questions being asked to me, that there is a definite need for a book on troubleshooting electrical circuits.      In today's society it's a different world than when I served my apprenticeship in the 1950s. Back then an electrician was to troubleshoot and find the fault and repair it. Today we live in a world of part changers in most instances. Today the technician is not taught how to repair the fault in a television but just change out the board. Same with your automobile, the mechanic hooks the vehicle up to a computer and it will tell them which part needs to be replaced. It's a different world!      But, when it comes to the everyday electrical problems in residential or commercial buildings there is no computer or diagnostic check. The electrician is still required to find the fault and repair it. This is an excellent follow-up book after working "The Electricians Workbook." It would be best to order both books at a combo price.
