A Classic by BobRo (Long Island, NY)  5 Stars
July 08, 2009
"There's a reason why this book is a classic and has been in print for 30 years: it is very simply the best book on the subject available. The authors know how to present their material clearly and cogently, so you're getting solid instruction, not fluff. Buy this book; you'll be glad you did."

Good systematic guide if you already have some electronics knowledge by Martin Mellish (Port Townsend, WA)  4 Stars
June 29, 2009
This book takes you systematically through the calculations you will need to do to design electronic circuits, and does an excellent job of it. You will already need to have a basic knowledge of electricity and electronics, since the book does not spend much time on theory, principles, or motivation, it just gets stuck in.

Great, even for a beginner, actually ESPECIALLY if you're a beginner. by M. Mauger 4 Stars
May 28, 2009
I've read a few reviews on here complaining that this text is not for the beginner, and that's true if you just want to kind-of know what it is someone else is talking about. But if you're willing to try and teach yourself electronics, as implied by even being interested in this text, then this IS the book for you.
Look, to get a book that covers the basics is a waste of time and money and here's why: The basics that this book expects you to know can be learned over the course of a couple of days. We're talking about a couple of very casual hours at MOST.
I am a complete beginner and I bought this book last weekend because my beginners book of choice (Electronics for dummies by the same author) was not available and I wanted to get started right away. Ohms law? No idea. But with a couple of online resources [...]and this book's first chapter (a full review of topics expected as knowledge base complete with review problems and a test), you're through the basics. BAM! that's it.
Get a beginners book and you'll be missing out on all sorts of material. BUY THIS INSTEAD. Do the work, you'll be proud of yourself, you'll go further, you'll be more skilled etc...
By the way I just finished the chapter 2 test on Diodes and though challenged, I am not stumped. This book challenges and engages, just as all of the reviews said it would. It does have it's flaws as in there's a couple of times it has skipped explaining an equation, but nothing that keeps you from moving forward and improving your knowledge-base.
If you're willing to do the work the title of this book implies, then GET IT. I can't recommend it enough.

A great learning tool by Bruce Cannavaro 5 Stars
May 21, 2009
I would reccomend this book to a anyone looking for a good basic introduction to electronics or wanting to review their previous knowledge. This book is clear, well formatted, and very easy to use. It was fun to go back and brush up on things that I learned some thirty plus years ago. This book covers a lot of material and makes the learning process simple and enjoyable. It's also great to keep as a quick reference guide. This book has the capicators to resonate you circuts!
