How....? |
| How some people gave this book a five star review is way beyond me. First of all, I'd just like to mention that this nice book gives you schematic diagrams using symbols and other things without explaining them first! Secondly, if you want to understand electronics it can only be assumed that you want to understand the physics behind it! This book dedicates about a sentence to a paragraph to physics for each section. Horrible! So basically, this INTRODUCTION to electronics doesn't do a lot of introducing you to anything! I'm on transistors right now, and I've spent days researching the physics of how they work on the Internet, and guess what? It's using schematics I don't understand, and yet again I'm going to have to do more looking on the net. This book is not worth it. Don't buy it! Just please, for your own sake, find another one. Also, half the book is dedicated to projects. That is, actually building electronic circuits! Why didn't the author just entitle this, "How to build electronic devices", then? It's beyond me! As far as explaining things are concerned, the book does very little, and assume you know more than you do. Unfortunately I'm going to have to end up buying another electronics textbook, because this one is just horrible. I was really wanting to learn something from this book, but it's just not happening. For every chapter I've read on this book I've had to do research on the net, and I'm sick of it. I'm on pg. 154, and I'm closing it. DO NOT buy this book! I've already found a better book on amazon.com (just buy reading the Table of Contents!!!!!!!!!!) and I'm going to get it! |

The Best |
| This is THE BEST book I have ever read in elementary electronics, and I have read many. It does not overload the beginner with complex circuit analysis, and yet is in-depth enough for an entry level electronics technician. After studying this book, you will be well prepared to take on more advanced studies. The range of topics is excellent, written in an easy to digest style, and the projects help seal the facts in your mind. I highly recommend to the beginner. |

One of the Best Electronics Books Available! |
| First off this is the first review of a book I've ever posted on Amazon.com this book is THAT good. I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering in College and I like to stay ahead and I find electronics very intresting. I've tried many books from the very basic to the very advanced and this book has it all in a very concise easy to understand format. Regardless if you are just starting out or already have a Masters in Engineering this book is great. It's easy to go back and touch up on forgotten formulas and subjects, Or even to just learn one certain thing. The writer consistantly keeps you from getting bored by giving you Circuits to design, Which he also explains step by step how they work which is very rare in books it seems. I always come back to this book and everytime I put it down I always feel the satisfaction of learning something new. If you have ANY intrest in Electronics quit reading my review and GET THIS BOOK! |
