[labnetwork] Make Microchips! the book for non-experts

I apologize for the shameless plug, but I think this may actually be useful
for many students and sub-university educators.

I have released a book for non-university readers interested in
semiconductors, here:
*Make Microchips! on Amazon <https://a.co/d/00UUlUjE> *
The goal is to increase the number of applicants at all education levels
into the semiconductor industry.

Perhaps you have students or profs/teachers that would find it helpful.
In the future, I will make a teaching plan for educators to use it to teach
a class, eg. at a Community College.  (I need a few-month break from
writing it first though!)

I also made a 2hr video Intro to Microfabrication
<https://enroll.professional.ucsb.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=35433569>,
via UCSB Continuing Ed, for the student/reskill/upskill audience.

The book is designed to compliment our sub-university hands-on fab
"bootcamps", similar to those you might run at your own labs:

I have a plan for future updates, such as résumé writing tips, a glossary
etc.
