5.0 out of 5 starsI would agree with what has been stated...
By A Customer on July 6, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book is about as cool as the other side of the pillow!
It is easy to understand; very basic. But it does not appear to be basic due to a lack of knowledge by the author, but rather, an intentional, well thought-out explanation, presented in such an auspicious way that even the mechanically declined can pick up a nugget of gold or two or three.
The writer from Canada was correct: It is a good instructional book that doesn't get too in-depth. It will give the lay carsmen a better understanding of that beast we call electricity and electronics in automotives, and consequently, will give consumers a better appreciation that their auto technician knows a) what the heck is going on with their car and, b) can fix it.
Two thumbs up to Mr. Chapman. This one's a winner And by the way, it appears as though the author hasn't fallen into the same ignominious pattern as most self-absorbed authors, with an update to their book every quarter or semester.

4.0 out of 5 starsAutomotive for the Common Person
By A Customer on December 29, 2002
Format: Paperback
This book takes everything you need to know about automotive electrical systems and puts it into casual yet informative and respectable language. Full of diagrams and pictures it walks you through Electronics. From the standpoint of a Automotive Professor this book teaches you like a beginner, not as if you were an expert like many other books. It has saved so much money and time. You won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 starsUn mécanicien qui veut apprendre l'électronic.
By François Taillon on October 31, 2003
Format: Paperback
C'est un bon livre mais seulement pour ceux qui ne connaissent rien de l'électronique de base. Il comporte les notions de base de l'électronique comme, la loi d'ohm, CC, Ca, resistor serie, parallèle, relay, diode etc dédier à l'automobile. Les illustrations son bonnes. C'est une livre d'apprentissage. Beaucoup de questions et réponses. Ce livre ne parle pas beaucoup d'injection. Il est en noire et blanc.
Dans sa catégorie, C'est un très bon livre d'initiation.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book on the basics auto electricity
By Gerard J. Sagliocca on December 22, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book does a very good job at teaching the basic information for the first auto course. It does have a few errors such as Figure 14-3 should read " Primary Cell Carbon-Zinc battery".

One thing is clear after reading this basic text, and that is, most students don't consider that auto electrical ground connections often are "lost" for a number of reasons, making circuits problematic, or worse yet, inoperable.

The book should be updated in the last chapter dealing with Ignition Systems; and also a new chapter should be added on the new higher car voltage standards being talked about for future models and hybrids.
