This review is from: The Resistor Handbook (Paperback)

As the others in this series it is a good 'resumé' off deep knowledge on the issue.
A litle to much as You'll feel unconfortable unless some what 'initiated' on the subject.
Very good for consolidating dispersed acquired knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect reference manual, December 4, 2000

David Anderson (Susanville, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Resistor Handbook (Paperback)

One of Mr. Kaiser's initial reference manuals which sets the template for his other outstanding handbooks on the core components of electronic circuits. Each individually stand on their own, but collectively, comprise a library of reference manuals for the electronics technician as well as a core curriculum for the teacher.
