Come to think of it (I sent email off list earlier to Gil), there is
an excellent set of 3 books here in Sweden called "Elektronik för
Alla" (electronics for all). Since Gil is a psychologist, he might
appreciate these books. I have never seen anything like these in
English print, and they wonderfully exemplify the Scandinavian
teaching style (math and physics textbooks are similar). They can
be characterized as having minimal words and many simple real
world examples. I took some courses when I first moved here and
found myself passing with rather good grades despite not knowing
the language. I had a translation dictionary of course, but I did
not get any help from native Swedish speakers. Somehow, the
simplicity in these books allowed better focus on the main points
which stuck a lot better in long term memory.

I would also be interested to know about similar books in English
print, otherwise, I can scan a couple pages to exemplify books
here.
