Good conceptual introduction to the material, not much more
(Northport, NY United States) June 11, 2004 - 3.0/5 stars

What this book does, it does well; namely, providing an introduction to the general concepts at work in electrical and electronic circuits.

What it doesn't do, that many people are probably expecting from it, is to guide the reader to proficiency in anything approaching real-life circuit analysis and design, particularly once you're into Part 3 (Electronics).

At that point the book reads more like a How Stuff Works article as opposed to an engineering book. That's not a terrible thing, but potential buyers should be aware of it.

	(Chicago, IL USA) November 23, 2004 - 3.0/5 stars
	This is a very detailed book with many diagrams, pictures, and explanations of systems. However, sometimes the book relies on the reader to know many of the terms. When you begin through the book it's like... read full review
