Great Book! by Daniel Garza (California)  5 Stars
October 18, 2009
I went through the Naval Nuclear Power School as an Electricians Mate, and this book is an amazing additional supplement to the classes.
It's not very good if you're trying to learn on your own, but is a great tool with great examples if you're actually in some kind of school to learn about electricity.
I still use this book as a reference. I highly recommend it.

Easy to understand lessons on electricity by Mr. Shannon Kane Drenan (Brisbane, QLD Australia) 5 Stars
May 08, 2009
This is a really good textbook for the person who is just geeting in to the field of electricity. I am studying to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and I found this book extremely helpfull. It doesn't go in to too much depth which is good because you don't get confused with what you are tryingn to learn. All in all, a really good book.

Too mcuh details with not much of rudimentary section by JPN (NRT, Japan)  1 Stars
March 13, 2009
Almost all books on electricity first start with the concept of electrons (electrons circulating around an atom or was it vise-versa?). I find remote relationship between the theory and practicality in this subject.
This book is written in microscopic letters (probably the font size 1 to 2 on MS-Word?).
I wonder if I am the only one in the world who's needing a book that I can apply to practicality.

Theory Combined with Practical Applications by c (Louisiana) 5 Stars
February 19, 2008
I have a degree in electrical engineering and is no stranger to text books on the subject of electrical circuits and power distribution. This book serves as an awesome guide that can compete with any book written on electric circuits. It also touches on three phase transformer configurations and ac/dc generators and motors.
As for the guy that claim this book is based on outdated methods of analysis and circuit components and devices, I strongly disagree. Transformers, Ac generators, DC generators and motors are used in the power industry as well as other industrial settings as of today and is not on the verge of becoming extinct no time soon.
To not understand the material is one thing, but to write a nasty review out lack of knowledge oncerning the subject is ridiculous. My opinion this is a great book.

Time Tested NAVY TRAINING without the Chief yellin' at ya' by KnottyFella (Phoenix, AZ USA) 5 Stars
September 03, 2007
.
This is the same material used to train ALL of the technicians in ALL of the electronics ratings in the US Navy. I used this book, or one of its earlier versions, when I rode a Submarine in the Eighties.
The US Navy is the most technologically advanced combat force in human history. And this is the material used to train their techs.
'Nuff said.
