Summary: Electricity, Not Electronics
Review: Electricity.
This is a subject that is often glossed over or dismissed in favor of Electronics. A firm grasp of Electricity is needed before one can hope to master Electronics. This remarkable book does just that. It is written in an intuitive manner allowing a novice to progress through the subject with ease. For the those who practice Electricity for a living, it is a welcome refresher. Even the "Old Salt" who has been doing it for years: there are lots of "Ah Ha's," yet to be discovered. This Book should not be underestimated or dismissed; it is worth exploring.

Summary: Horrible Stay Clear
Review: This book is written for someone with a 6th grade education and no more. It talks about magamps for pete's sake. It dosen't even broach the subject of transistors. NO TRANSISTOR THEORY!! What in sakes is electronics if not transistors! The stupid objectives at the beginning of each chapter, and the even worst review problems at the end of each chapter are simply a waste of pages. I am a former nuke electrician from the navy and a current IC Fabrication Technician in the semiconductor industry. I purchased the book to just stay up on my studies, but this book fell way short. My fiancee's daughter has learned almost everything that is covered in this book, and she is only in the 7th grade. Be forewarned, a bad book indeed.

Summary: This is an excellent book for beginners in electricity.
Review: This book is written in the standard format for a classroom environment, which makes it very easy to follow and find previously read topics you may have forgotten. However, some sections would be easier to learn with the aid of a teacher; although, it is still possible to learn the material without one. This book covers a wide range of topics for electricity, but not many applications of it. Over all, this book provides you with a strong foundation in the electrical field.
