This review is from: Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity (Hardcover)

Excellent textbook. Presented in a textbook format with plenty of pictures, easy to read and understand. Linear learning curve. Explains ins and outs of electronics and electricity basics, easy math (no two-page formula derivations!). I found it a great resource for brushing up for my electronics tech certification. Recomend to anyone who wants to know how electricity operates, with references to real life. Straight to the point (thorough basics, and minimum fuss).

This review is from: Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity (Hardcover)

I am an electrical engineer with 20 years of experience. This book is a GREAT review of all electrical theories and practices. This book will give you confidence and remind you of many lessons that you forgot from college. Written in nice sized chapters with pictures and examples. I recommend to non-engineers and all engineers.
