I enjoyed this book but it is pretty simplistic. This is understandable and forgivable since it is a book written for laymen or for people that are totally unfamiliar with Electronics. In that vein of thinking, it makes a lot of comparisons between electronic circuits and plumbing or other things of that nature.

I was only interested in the theory portion of the book, so I didn't read all of it, but I got the gist of it. In any case, this book would be great for hobbyists and others that want to build circuits for fun. It might also help to renew some of that old learning with mentions of Kirchoff and Ohm and all those old guys, but don't really count on it. On the one hand, they do explain some of the equations and do provide examples with worked solutions, but on the other hand, they don't really go into any depth with what they talk about. Thus, this book is good, but not really what I was looking for.… (altro)
