520			_aThrough the use of a lively writing style and frequent examples, the book covers the important topics that readers need to know to become residential electricians. The author, Stephen L. Herman, logically presents the basic electrical principles from safety to motors and discusses how to go from theory to application. This text helps users learn the work skills, functions and activities included in the Residential Electrician Skill Standards developed by industry leaders for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). With its supplemental multimedia this text provides an integrated teaching solution directly linking your education/training program to the residential construction industry. Create a direct link between your education/training program and the construction industry! For the first time, books are available for many of the residential crafts -- including carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and facilities maintenance -- that are based on national standards developed by the nation's leading builders and educators. The result of a strategic partnership between the National Association of Home Builders, Home Builders Institute (HBI), and Delmar Learning, this new Residential Construction Academy series is the perfect way to introduce people of all ages to the building trades while guiding them to development of essential workplace skills. - Back cover.
