A Practical Introduction to Electronic Circuits

Rating:
Summary: Exceptional book, not for novices
Review: Don't be swayed by M. T. "mtartagni"'s review - as he said, it was his mistake - he was obviously looking for something different.

This book is an exceptional intro to electronics but not for the novice. Suggest you start with "Foundation Electronics" by B G Barker (if still in print) if you are just starting out.

Why so good - some of the best engineers I have worked with have one piece of advice - understand electronics at the physics level and you will easily understand any circuit, be able to fault trace quickly and even build your own equipment from scratch. Electronic math is ok but no substitute for knowing what those darned electrons are up to. This book takes you from the physics through to theoretical and practical examples and will get you a long way to becommining an electronics engineer.

Summary: The best ways to describe the science of electronics.
Review: I read too many books in electronics most of them try to explain the electronics using abstract method or as it is. This book is different, it shows you the theory with method or a model and the logic is very well explained. If you are tired from understanding the basic concepts such as amplification, power supplies, oscillators and digital circuits from other text books, try this book and trust me it will improve your skills in electronics dramatically. Also I believe this book will be a good and valuable reference with other advanced textbook in electronics. This is an excellent book for the beginners in the world of electronics.

Summary: A mistake
Review: It was a damned mistake. Do not confuse this garbage with "Analog Integrated Circuit Design" by David Jones, Ken Martin. Anyway, it is not a matter of being an introductory book on electronics, different to what I was looking for... It is just a book not to buy.
