    • The BEST book for starting electronics students
Forrest Mims is a genius in his simple, yet accurate way of explaining things in this beginner's guide to electronics. Although modern electronics have gone all surface-mount and integrated circuits, this book still gives you the fundamentals in understanding the basics that you need. If you're young and considering engineering or electronics, this is a must-read book! It also has many practical projects you can build with breadboards... Unfortunately there is no Radio Shack anymore to buy components, but Amazon has most of what you would need. 100% a favorite of mine. I have three copies for my 9th grade classroom. ... show more

    • A comic book for (would be) electronics nerds
This was not, in fact, the book that taught me electronics. That honor goes to Charles Platt's Make: Electronics. However, if I had discovered it in the 80s or 90s before Platt's book existed, I'm sure it would have done the job. It's less hands-on than Platt's book, and doesn't offer as much hand-holding or practical advice for beginners, but it's very accessible nonetheless. The explanations are clear, if concise, and the drawings are very elucidating. The book explains everything you need to know about the fundamentals of electricity as well as the passive components and transistors that you'll need to build basic circuits. It also covers a few of the classic linear and digital ICs, but it was written before microcontrollers became commonplace, so it doesn't even mention them. But none of this explains my attachment to this book, which is on a much more emotional level. The fact that the entire book is handwritten and hand-illustrated gives it a very personal touch. The drawings are whimsical and endearing. How can you not smile at the illustrations of electrons gleefully zipping down a wire, or at a MOSFET with lightning bolts shooting out of its head because it got zapped by static? Even if you already know everything that you could possibly learn from this book, it's still worth a read. As the title of this review suggests, it's like a comic book for electronic nerds. I'm sure if I had been given this book as a kid it would have captured my imagination and gotten me hooked. Just thumb through the book and you can tell that Forrest Mims loves teaching people about electronics and has a special talent for doing so. ... show more

    • Off to a Good Start
This is an excellent book to learn the fundamentals to get started learning electronics. I really don't have much of a background in electronics. I got this book because I read about it in Make Magazine. Also I have been trying to complete a correspondence course in electronics. This book reviewed what I had already learned in a fraction of the number of pages that I had to read. It also introduce things that my course hasn't cover yet. Not bad for 128 pages. Think about it: many high schools don't have an electronics program. Mine didn't. It isn't that the material is unimportant or doesn't have job opportunities. The electronic field is huge. This is the book to start with if you know nothing of electronics and are doing a self study. The book is easy to understand. It wasn't until it discusses "Digital Integrated Circuits" in chapter 6 that I did not have a full understanding of the material. But I guess this is just a "start" to learning such topics. But I think it works, because it is more advanced and thus gets the reader's interest. However diode and transistor gates can become complicated. It is important to note there is not much math here except for some basic algebra. A few formulas, truth tables, and graphs of functions are present but the book uses them to show how electronics are represented and not to have the reader do many math problems. I have yet to build the circuit projects in the back of the book. That is the next step. Forrest Mims, the author, states that you have to do them to get the complete understanding of circuits. That makes sense. In summary, this is an excellent book and I give it a high recommendation. It is the fastest way to learn all about electronics that you were never taught. ... show more
