It's good theory, but that's all.
I've always been atracted to playing around with electronics and I thought this book might be just the thing to get me doing cool things with electronics. I hoped this book would inspire me by showing me "real world" examples. But it seemed that the examples were half done. Sure there's a diagram of a high-pass filter, or how op-amps work, but what the heck does all that mean? Where are those examples that will help me invent? I never got the full picture and felt like I was just reading a cliff notes version of a real text book.
It just seemed like I was promised building blocks and instructions and all I got was the instructions to build building blocks. I'll give it a three becuase it does have all the theory in there, but don't get this book looking for a mix of theory and cool circuits... it's all theory
Excellent entry level book,
It's probably safe to assume that the majority of people who read books about basic electronics do so because they intend to build things. This book caters to such an audience. It provides theory and examples that allow you to build your own basic circuits. The concepts aren't easy, but the author helps you understand them. .
