The Title Does What it Says

This book accomplishes exactly what it states; to give an understanding of basic to intermediate electronics. It gives a comprehensive overview of electronics, the parts of a circuit and the components, and the basic concepts of mathematics of electronics. Its main drawback is that the author tries to condense too much at the beginning to get on to the more advanced concepts. Readers are advised to go slowly and carefully; the author does not hold the reader's hand (some readers like that, and for that you should get Electricity and Electronics), and usually only gives one example per concept. Giving two or more examples per idea increases the reader's chance for understanding. However, overall this is a good addition to the bookshelf, but I cannot recommend it as the FIRST book for someone who doesn't have a clue about electronics. The rating is mainly for the amount of information it manages to include. Once you have a basic understanding of electricity, it is a good book to go back to.

highly recomended!

If you're looking to learn how make simple circuts GET THIS BOOK! it starts off easy but by the end you'll be making your own circuts. I went from an amature to a intermediate in about three weeks. very easy to understand.
