Summary: Terrific intro or refresher to transistor operation.
Review: I have been through a number of "intro to transistors" books. This is clearly the best I've read. Starts with review of basic DC theory, then it takes you step by step through the calculations of determining the current and voltage in simple transistor circuits. It progresses to circuits with multiple transistors; each step is accompanied with a schematic and example of math formula and method. The end of each chapter has review questions (with answers). Also has a chapter on basic AC theory and one on filters, resonance, etc. An extremely informative, and useful real world book without the heavy classroom theory! A welcome addition to my collection of actively used technical reference books.

Summary: Nice layout
Review: The book is layed out well with nice diagrams. Not the hand drawn diagrams I've seen in other books. It is clear and concise. Several examples are given with each topic.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: You would gain maximum benefit from this book if you go slow as you read this book and finish all of the quiz questions. Please don't jump around between various chapters - just go slow and steady from chapter 1 to chapter 2 and so on!This book does an excellent job of explaining basics/theory of electronics [almost]. The quiz questions are formatted in such a way that they make you think - and I liked that! My favourite subject area was the chapters 3 & 4 where author explains the workings of a transistor. I recommend this book for beginners and intermediate level students of electronics who are looking forward to strengthen their understanding of the workings of electronic components. Regards,
Shaukat
