 "Good text, little incomplete" 2010-06-22
By C. Harty (Lacombe, LA USA)
One question I had on Chapter 13 is Stan does not describe how to get the frequency by itself in an equation when inductive reactance and inductance is known. I was unable to answer Question 6 or 8 on the review for Chapter 13, "Inductive Reactance. I bought his Algebra book to brush up on my skills since I will be working in electronics.

Other than that it was a good book, however, more emphasis on math will be needed.


 "Perfect Fit for Anyone Interested in Electronics" 2010-03-07
By Phil Hutchinson (Seattle, WA)
Every great once in a while (not often enough), you're lucky enough to come across the right book at the right time. This is that book for me and probably a ton of other people who are in the same place I am. I am just starting an electronics technician degree program, and this book complements my "Intro to Electronics" course perfectly. It should have been our textbook! :-)


 "what's with that cover?" 2009-10-16
By rich graiko (boston)
I'm no electronics pro, and honestly I haven't even finished reading the book yet. But I really like the lay-out and quizzes at the end of each chapter. One of the things that caught my attention was how it started with such basic information. "Chapter one; Atoms", this was a great and logical place to start. Keep your calculator handy though, because by chapter two you're knee deep in, what was for me, pretty advanced calculus.


 "Kindle Edition: Decent, but flawed..." 2009-10-05
By B. Michelson (Chicago, IL)
I purchased the Kindle version, in an attempt to get into some small electronics projects.

The Kindle version has one major downfall: The table of contents is utterly useless. The publisher decided to make the contents one big image, without links. This makes the book have VERY limited utility for those looking to use this later as a reference. It also makes jumping back to previous chapters to review concepts a major chore.


This book covers the relevant topics of DC / AC electronics, the major physical components, and the mathematics involved in a straightforward fashion.

That said, this book falls under the issues that almost every other EE book falls into: There are many examples, and explanations of how to do the basic math, but little practical application. Like every other learning electronics books I've seen, it's difficult to make heads or tails of how the things you are learning apply in the real world.


 "Don't buy the Kindle version! Broken TOC." 2009-08-27
By Randy P. (Long Beach, California USA)
This really does seem like a great book, and probably five stars for the print version. However the Kindle version does not include a working (linked) table of contents. It's clearly intended to be there as you can get it to work under some circumstances (if you search for a keyword and let the search take you to an entry in the TOC, you can click on it -- but if you simply navigate the TOC from the beginning of the book it won't work.)

Amazon phone support says it's a publisher issue beyond their control, and I called the publisher who is going to look into it and maybe it will get fixed, but they didn't exactly fill me with confidence (no guarantees, no follow-up.)

But for a book this size, you just can't really use it in electronic format without a TOC unless you want to get really frustrated.

I'll revise this review if and when they fix the broken file.
