Summary: Review of Hambley's Electrical Engineering
Review: I am an engineering student at Georgia Tech and have used various texts covering topics from orginismal biology to quantum physics. Hambley's Electrical Engineering book is lacking in some of the most fundamental elements that are required for a successful text in any engineering field. There are very few solutions to problems and the solution that are provided are incomplete, providing mostly the final answer as opposed to a complete logic pattern to achieve the answer. The in chapter exercises demonstrate only the most meager applications of the sometimes tedious analysis steps or theorems. Finally, the clarity of author's intent is often hazed by generality or over specificity. I cannot see how an electrical engineering major can use this text for anything other than a stabilizer for a wobbling table. Save yourself the money and purchase a Schaum's outline and a problem work book complete with solutions.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This is a horrible book to start out with. If you're new to the concepts in the book you will not learn much. If you're already knowledgeable in the topics covered it might be a decent reference, but to learn anything from...? Useless.

Summary: Not useful
Review: Weak point
1. Lack of examples
2. No detail solutions
3. few solution to chapter exercise

Good point
1. Used blue, white and black instead of only black and white in color in book content.
2. Hard cover, it's not easy to destroy the book cover
3. thin in size. It used about 800 pages to cover Electronics, Digital system, electonmechanics and Circuit Theory.

So great......
