Product Description |
|
For almost 30 years, this book has been a classic text for electronics enthusiasts. Now completely updated for today?s technology with easy explanations and presented in a more user-friendly format, this third edition helps you learn the essentials you need to work with electronic circuits. All you need is a general understanding of electronics concepts such as Ohm?s law and current flow, and an acquaintance with first-year algebra. The question-and-answer format, illustrative experiments, and self-tests at the end of each chapter make it easy for you to learn at your own speed. |

Great BASIC electronics guide |
My experience with this book is very two sided. On one side, it is a great refresher or even a descent beginning for people wanting to learn about basic electronics. On the other side, it is a very poor update to a book that was ahead of its time.
I have read the 2nd edition and this book offers almost nothing new and instead takes the easy to follow format and makes it more lengthy (and in some cases worse). I bought this book because a lot has changed between 1986 and 2008. According to this book, electronics has stood still because there is no mention of anything new. I thought the book would at least mention various advances that an electronics technician should know or things on the horizon. If not, this should be called the self teaching guide to the basics or fundamentals of electronic components. It would have been nice to have a short overview or road map of new technologies like programmable logic controllers and digital circuits. Instead, all there is a supplemental reading section (some of which points to his own books which, from the quality of this update, they probably aren't very good and are just made to make money). Plus, it is sad when a couple pages of my physics review book provides a great and better introduction to electronics then this.
I thought the author wrote "all new" because he wanted to stress that it is "all new". Instead, simply writing edition 3 and adding the word basic to the title would have been a better move. There is no way you can simply get away with calling it an "electronics" guide anymore because too many advances have been made and if this is all you knew, it wouldn't get you very far other than basic troubleshooting of simple circuits. |

Well Done! |
|
I like the structure of the book the most. It reviews the fundamentals of electronic design, and mimics an intro course into Electronic Engineering (minus the complex math). If one were to thoroughly understand the base principles outlined in this book, you would be well on your way to understanding analog circuits. There are clear circuit diagrams and various examples to help solidify what you've read. This book gets my approval! |

Excellent for a beginner or a brush up |
So I had a very basic knowledge from school, and needed to brush up. This book is excellent for anyone, as it teaches you by asking questions, rather than pages of boring preachyness. It starts from the basics, which either confirms what you already know, or gets you an understanding and just keeps on building. You can get up to a pretty advanced level quickly, or stop when you get to the level you need. I got 3 books and this was by far the best to learn quickly from.

A Classic |
"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 |
|
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. |
