  • A great book to learn electronics!
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best electronics books I have seen to date, especially for the price. The material is presented in an easy to read and understand manner. Some sections may sometimes come across a bit brief, or incomplete, but sometimes that is all that is needed to learn a certain topic. Sometimes, too much, is too much... There are many lab exercises, and most of us will find that we do not have the equipment/test equipment needed to complete them. I do feel they shouldn't have included these in the book, but sometimes doing it is easier to understand than reading about it. Also, throughout the book, there are questions and answers about what you had just read, which is great, but sometimes they put the answers just below the questions on the same page. I feel that the answers should have been placed at the end of the chapter or somewhere else in the book instead. This is a all-in-one book, an overview of electronics that a person can understand without further instruction. But, if there is something you find that you want to know more about after reading through this book, then I would suggest purchasing a more expensive textbook or a more specialized book afterwards. As I am sure you will see from reading other reviews, there is a bit of complaints about errors. As with any book, especially technical books, there will be some mistakes no matter how hard the authors and editors try to avoid them. Yes, as stated, there are a few errors, but with a little patience and research, and if you are astute enough to notice the error, than it will be easy enough to correct it by writing over what is incorrect. Overall, "Complete Electronics" is a great read. ... show more

  • Fairly Complete, Fairly Essential
Format: Paperback
A very good introduction to the fundamental concepts and (discrete) devices used in modern electronic practice. If you want a "hands-on" experience, and are willing to put in the time, this book (structured in modules that walk you through practical examples of how devices and basic circuits work) could be a good choice. I note the criticisms by other reviewers, and don't disagree with them. I've been less than completely satisfied by the format (as noted elsewhere, "backwards" Q-&-A ordering), and sometimes the explanations are skimpy. Just one example: the section on diodes, particularly the functioning of zener diodes, just wasn't adequate for me--I had to consult other books in my library (which had more detail and informative graphs) to feel that I had really grasped the material. I'm still "in progress" with this one, so will reserve further judgment for later. Despite those shortcomings, this self-paced, self-teaching program really does have a lot to offer the beginner. NOTE that if you do all the exercises in this book, it could be costly, depending on how well-supplied your workshop is right now. (And one of the very few missing ingredients of this book is an introductory section with a complete list of devices and supplies that are needed to complete each section). At a minimum, you'll need a breadboard with jumpers, alligator clips, and appropriate devices (transistors, resistors, diodes, coils, and so forth); a power supply; at least one multimeter (and several of the exercises show THREE DMM's in play for simultaneous measurement of circuit parameters like voltage, resistance, and/or current), an oscilloscope, and a function generator. Obviously, if you don't have a particular item, you can forego the exercise, but for maximum return, it's clearly best to have all of these gadgets on hand, either through purchase or borrowing. The arrangement of this book is sequential and logical, the writing is generally clear and readable, and the examples are practical and informative. ... show more

  • Requires some prior knowledge of electrical theory
Format: Paperback
Just a heads-up that this is not for the complete novice. The book begins with a review of DC theory which may be enough to get you caught up, but you'll realistically need at least some basic understanding of electrical theory. I'd recommend pairing this with a beginner's book, or just finding a decent YouTube channel to get you up to speed. That said, it is a fantastic book. It's organized much like a normal class with information, followed by questions to repeat and thus help retain what was taught, then end of chapter tests. This is a great book to accompany your first breadboard starter kit, and will quickly get you browsing around for a meter, then more components, and eventually you'll be drooling over oscilloscopes. Excellent resource, no doubt a 5-star presentation and 5-star quality! ... show more

  • Great refresher course in electronics
Format: Paperback
This book is written in simple language that makes it easy to understand the concept. There are no derivations therefore no higher math than simple algebra is needed. Equations needed are supplied. The book also includes experiments to visually illustrate electronic concepts. It's well written for the novice or the more advance student that desires a refresher course. ... show more

  • Nice academic book but too technical for me.
Format: Paperback
The book is nice. It is like very other technical book on electronics I saw but not the hand on book I hoped for. Yeah - I wanted something else so I shouldn't down grade this book but ... it just all code and symbols not thing to build with your hands. They have some projects but ... I don't care for this type of classroom book. ... show more

  • More of a fórmula manual than a teaching guide
Format: Paperback
I got this book to brush up on my electronics knowledge for a new job (haven’t used my electrical engineering degree in some time, but that’s another story)…however this book gives a brief explanation of each component and then follows up with the formulas and examples of using these formulas…I wanted more of a book that reminded me of what each component does and it’s schematic symbol…but I still gave this book 5 stars because it is well-written, provides proper instruction and doesn’t miss any important info…it’s more of a serious read than other “for beginners” books but it is still a worthwhile investment. ... show more
