A random book I stumbled accross - not sure if mentioned here before.
Like "Where there is no doctor" but for simple engineering - that probably over simplifies it - but from my limited experience it has been really useful.

PDF link: annas-archive.org/md5/7a5370409091de3d6ecc69e53e91d070 - the link is Annas archive which i have found as safe source, but YMMV.

www.amazon.com/dp/1853395218?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Interested in anyone with any decent knowledge if they think the book is any good.
I have found some really useful bits - but I am an amateur !!

My hard copy of this book arrived - so much easier to read than a PDF.
I really recommend this. I don't have an engineering bone in my body, but I have already fixed several problems on my doomstead which I was struggling with.
It covers basic engineering through to the much more complicated - my problems were simple, but this book covered them well.
Those of you with an engineering background probably wont need this, but I am finding this book very useful.

Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook is always a good one to keep around. It's usually a part of uni student reference as well so you may be able to get a cheap copy at the end of the school year with desperado students selling off stuff to make a buck. You dont need the latest edition.

The Art of Electronics is also a good reference to have about too.

Any of the range of books published by Newnes are also worth it. They published book on chemistry, electronics, and so on, from the early 20's till the 2000's. My favorite is the Newnes TV and short wave handbook, published in 1934. The science behind it is still valid, though the circuits are somewhat, shall we say, dated ?

Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
