5.0 out of 5 stars The best Electronics book for beginners and intermediate fans
Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2017

Great introduction book on the subject of electronics.

The explanations are well written and very interesting. One can learn a lot on various electronics components, on the theory behind it and on the practical applications for each component. The author did a great job dividing the book into relevant and coherent sections, with topics on many subjects that will help you understand circuit building and other more advanced topics. You can view the table of content to be surprised from the wealth of information, and it is all laid out very clearly for the absolute beginners. The more advanced topics are for those that are willing to dig deeper into the field of electronics, so readers of various understanding can benefit from this book. I have not read all of it, as there are more than 800 pages, but I thoroughly enjoyed every page I did read.

Very well done Doug!

5.0 out of 5 stars Starts basic and goes up to IC's like 555 timers

Covers a fair bit. Enjoyable read too.

Starts basic and goes up to IC's like 555 timers. My favorite part of the book so far is the transistors, but then again I just like transistors. I enjoyed reading up on, and had fun experimenting with them. Its a good idea to read from this book with the internet near by to expand on it, as some of the book could go a bit more in depth on some parts, but given the amount tackled its a great read for anyone starting out, written with a light handedness and a slight sense of humor. I recommend it as a first book.

This book is for all those like me that wanted to take it from the beginning and embrace the world of electronics... I am very please on how the author takes something not so easy to explain and brings it to everyone... you hear well, everyone that wants to start and the electronic realm.

Great book and my thanks to the author for taking the time to write it. Great product value. Just don't read it on the beach, you could have sand on your face if it happens that the author goes by. Once you read you will get my point.

Reviewed in Italy on December 29, 2018

Cercavo un libro di elettronica facile ma che andasse oltre i semplici circuiti di elettronica, e mi sono orientato sulla catena for dummies. Il libro è scritto in inglese, e quindi nel leggerlo si ripassa anche un pochino la lingua, ed è un bel mattone di quasi 1000 pagine. Sono pèraticamente 9 libri in uno: 1 introduzione all'elettronica, 2 utilizzo dei componenti di base, 3 lavorare con i circuiti integrati, 4 oltre la corrente continua, 5 elettronica digitale, 6 lavorare con il microprocessore arduino, 7 lavorare con il processore basic stamp, 8 lavorare con raspberry pi, 9 effetti speciali.
I capitoli sono tutti ben spiegati e propongono degli esperimenti per cui bisogna procurarsi dei semplici compenti elettroncici. L'unico libro che ho trovato poco utile è il 7, poiche il processore basic stamp ha una diffusione in Italia praticamente nulla. Comunque un buon libro introduttivo.
