Wonderful collection of books

[Jeffrey Herman]

I just discovered a very informative collection of recently published
historical books that most of you might be interested in; they're
published by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (UK), in
association with the London Science Museum.

Here are the titles in the series:

I'm currently reading Volume 20 (94 pages in length).

I found these in our campus library. If you're not so lucky, then
write to:
