Editorial Reviews:

It’s never been easier to teach yourself basic electronics. Electronics 2nd Edition A Self-Teaching Guide The first edition of Electronics sold over 50,000 copies—and made learning principles and practices easier for thousands of vocational students, job trainees and home hobbyists. This updated edition has been fully revised to keep pace with rapidly changing technology. Electronics teaches you the basics of electricity and electronic components—transistors, capacitors, diodes, resistors, and circuits—in a self-paced, self-instructional format. And you don’t need any previous electronics experience to use and understand this learn-by-doing guide. Working at your own pace, you’ll master the simplest concepts and move on to more advanced analog circuits. You’ll learn the basics of converting AC to DC…how to effectively use a transformer…how to design a simple working amplifier circuit…and how the transistor operates as a switch. Plus, you’ll get an easy-to-follow introduction to voltage dividers, Ohm’s law, current flow, semi-conductor diodes, pp and rms voltage levels, tuned circuits, simple BJT and JFET switching circuit design and many other important subjects. Each chapter starts you off with an overview of learning objectives and introduces new concepts gradually, with lots of examples, reviews, and self-quizzes. End-of-chapter exercises let you put what you’ve learned to work right away. And there are dozens of experiments with step-by-step instructions, so learning is easy and fun. Electronics, 2nd Edition, together with its companion volume Digital Electronics, provides a complete review and reference guide for students, technicians, and do-it-yourselfers. More than 150 Wiley Self-Teaching Guides teach practical skills from accounting to astronomy, management to microcomputers. Look for them all at your local bookstore.

Summary: Great book but the newer edition is even better!
Comment: This is a must have book for anybody into electronics but the publishers should have provided a link from this edition to the new one by Harry Kybett and Earl Boysen All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self Teaching Guides). The new edition, which came out in 2008, uses the same great approach to teaching you about electronic circuits and all the math that goes with them, but it's been updated. The writing is improved with clearer explanations, and the layout is much more user friendly. Buy this book, but be sure to get the newest edition! (I gave this one 4 stars only because the new one is a 5 star).

Summary: very good on transistors
Comment: As others have noted, this really is an excellent book. It starts off slow with a review of DC and then covers the basics of AC and transistors. If you follow along and do the exercises you learn alot.

I really loved his nice development of transistors. He does it over 3 chapters.

The math consists of basic algebra so it's suited to high school level or amateur builder. Not really a college text.

The only book I've seen that matches this one for clarity is "Basic Electricity" by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc. ISBN: 0790610418. It's a reprint of the series first published by Rider. Also get the excellent 24 part series Navy Electricity & Electronics Training Series (NEETS).

Summary: Nice layout
Comment: 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
Comment: 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
