Book Reviews of Basic Electronics (Dover Books on Electronics, Electricity, Computers, Electrical Engineering)
Book Review: Outstanding Choice for Basic Electronics Theory
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book about basic electronics and the nitty-gritty of this science doesn't change over time. Integrated circuits aren't really basic electronics and neither is a lot of "modern" circuit design - there are many other book choices for that.
But if you want the basic science behind electronics - this is the best book you can get in my opinion. It is written in clear language for the average reader to understand. If you're a calculus wiz - this book isn't going to be your cup of tea. But ... if you're new to electronics and tend to struggle with some of the more difficult concepts - look no further as this book was really the core of basic electronics education for the U.S. Navy for many decades and the Navy trained THOUSANDS of technicians with the information in this book. The only way you could do better ... would be to get ahold of a set of the old Navy Electricity and Electronics Series Modules (also referred to as NEETS modules). That's basically a library of paperback books - each one devoted to a specific segment of electrical / electronic study - like COMPUTERS and Binary Logic, or Motors and Generators. Those modules are written in the same language as this book - tend to go a bit deeper into detail and are in nice digestible chunks.
Good luck with finding them though.
Even the section on vaccuum tubes in this book is a valuable exercise into electron science - and it's fun! And I still think electronic techs should be at least vaguely familiar with the principles of vaccuum tubes even in this day and age!
