Abstract

This text relies on a do-it-yourself approach for the home or shop investigator. The directions are terse, but in most cases the experiments are presumably doable. Some of the required equipment is oriented to the sophisticated handyperson and it, along with some of the materials, can be quite costly. In fact, some of the materials may not be available at all to the layperson.
