Aimed at students on courses in electronic principles, circuits and devices, the only prerequisite for this text is a command of basic algebra. A smooth integration of theory and practice first develops an understanding of how these devices function. It then applies these functions to the solution of practical problems and system applications. The four-colour design focuses students' attention on key aspects of illustrations and highlights important concepts and terms within the text.

I decided to get into electricity and green energy. When I started running into technical problems that required me to design my own circuit boards, I knew I had better get a fundamental education in electronics. I've always been self-taught by reading books and tutorials from experts and avoiding the expense of schooling. Its gotten me far in life. This book gave me a tremendous amount of useful information and a fantastic foundation about the basic elements of circuit design and their components. There are also superb explanations about the internal mechanics of various components, including how diodes work. I haven't read other books in this field yet, but I'm quite impressed with the presentation and breadth of information in this one. I found out about it because it was recommended by this guy: [...]

To make sure I was prepared for this book, I purchased the precursor book on Electricity. I thought it was outstanding. I found it to be simple, clear and a breadth of information. You can tell its dumbed down a bit -- not written to expect you to have high-level physics and calculus comprehension -- but it still makes use of some basic physics principles.
