Book reviews

When one considers the critical importance of solders and soldering in the fabrication of all types of electronic circuits, it is perhaps surprising that there is not a greater number of books available on the subject. For some time now one of the standard references has been ‘Soldering in Electronics’ by R. J. Klein Wassink, published in 1984. Unfortunately, the publication of this book coincided with a revolution in assembly technologies for electronic circuits with the advent of surface mount. Resulting from this there has been a complete revision of ‘Soldering in Electronics’ by the author to embrace the impact of surface mount technology.
