Welcome to EMC Books +

The book is light on technology and should not distract from the main purpose of the book, which is to describe the often interesting, pleasant, helpful, or shady people I have met: The impression countries have made on me and the people in those countries I have worked in; The interesting workplaces and the projects  I have worked on.  If it encourages any young person to consider a career in science or engineering and be interested in social issues, then I am satisfied.   Although it contains a minimum of technical content, two appendices, one describing some of the projects I have worked on, and the other includes some technical information for those who want an explanation of some of the circuits, equipment,  technical terms, and some of the surprising findings I have made.  It starts on a building site in England (on the hod) and ends in the mystery of an ElectroMagnetic (EM) wave that is higher behind a screen (shield)  than in front. This is counterintuitive. Hence, Odd   EM waves.
