4.0 out of 5 stars From an Enlisted Sailor who knows, June 2, 2000
By Tim Fredericksen Jr (Goose Creek, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a fantastic reference guide to those interested in the field of Electricity. I found it extremely useful, both as a guideline for choosing my rating in the Navy's Nuclear Power Program, and as a basic reference guide in application. It is well thought out, and, laid out in a logical straight forward matter. This book, coupled with some basic knowledge of electricity, will give you a broad theoretical background in this fundamental subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginner or experienced, August 18, 2001
By Dennis Cody (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
I have been an Avionics Tech. for 30 years and bought this book for my son-in-law. I have had a copy and used it for years to brush up on sometimes forgoten electrical principals. This book is so good that the aircraft technical schools issue it to aviation mechanics for the AC and DC basics. If you want to understand electricity, motors, generators, AC/DC theory...This book is for you!!!!!
