Highly recommended for specialists, informed readers, and the young adult. His conversational approach to describing theoperation of electrostatic machines makes for an enjoyable, easy to read book. At first glance, you might think this book is too simplistic for use in an industrial or university laboratory. But surprisingly, there are plenty of very practical and insightful techniques for measuring and understanding high voltage and electrostatic charge. This book would be usetul for an experimentalist or hobbyist interested in designing, building, and experimenting with electrostatic generators.
Safety is stressed through out the book.
