Book Reviews of All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self Teaching Guides)
Book Review: Great electronics primer
Summary: 5 Stars
I woke up one morning and decided to learn all about electronic circuits. My main interest is in building effects pedals for guitars. After a few weeks of looking at schematics and not knowing why all of the components were arranged as they were in a circuit, I decided to either take an "EE 101" class or get a good book. I went the cheaper route.
This book is really in-depth. One warning: the format may be off-putting at first to some. The author will ask a question before the reader knows the answer then he goes about explaining how the answer was derived. At first I kept flipping back to see where the question was explained until I got the feel of how the format works.
Basically, you take this book at your own pace. I make a point to understand the entire chapter and every formula in it before moving on. There are plenty of self-tests and a review and test at the end of every chapter. The math involved is basic algebra so it can act as an algebra refresher course to those out of school for a while, like me.
A lot of material is covered here and the scope of what I learned is beyond circuit building. Anyone interesting an building anything related to music will find value in this book as the author into great detail around frequency analysis and oscillation.
If you're looking for a book to teach you beyond "let's build a circuit to make the LED blink" this is the one to get. On the flip-side, if you are looking for a lot of hands-on "lab time" this book deals more with theory than the actual building of complete circuits, so if that's the case, you may want to look elsewhere.

Now completely updated for today?s technology with easy explanations and presented in a more user-friendly format, this third edition helps you learn the essentials you need to work with electronic circuits. All you need is a general understanding of electronics concepts such as Ohm?s law and current flow, and an acquaintance with first-year algebra.
