Book Reviews of American Electricians' Handbook
Book Review: A Gem, with caveats
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent, if dense read that bridges the gap between the science of electricity, and the practical matter of an Electrician's work. It will not fully explain the science of the topic, and it will certainly not teach you how to wire a house. It is a very good book if your question runs along the lines of "Why does it work that way?" Its treatment of Ohm's law and other fundamentals is particularly useful. That said, the index is a nightmare, the book is not organized by page number, and it contains some apocrypha.
I have been an electrician for just over two years now (and I wrote this using my wife's login, because I'm too lazy to relog)
