Practical Electronics: A Complete Introduction: Teach Yourself

Simple and to the point.My students enjoyed the book as part of their syllabus. Thank you

Helps when you are a beginner.

This book is a strange assemblage of electronics history, a basic introduction to fundamental components like capacitors and transistors, and oddly detailed information about binary logic and how to program a PIC microcontroller. It’s hard to imagine what audience would benefit from this mishmash.

First, this book is very small making it difficult to read and manage, it is smaller than a pocket book. This is very hard to know based on the pictures.Second, this is a black and white w/ lower quality printing. If you looked at the sample like I did and expect grey scale images and blue titling well you won't get that.The content is a bit to academic for my purpose, I wish I spent a little more for a Make/Charles Platz book or something else.

Useful introduction for anyone just starting out in electronics. Clearly written with good diagrams and helpful tests, plus a few activities to work on. I got it for my oldest grandchild, now 15, and it is ideal for him as he has not done any electronics at school so far. Obviously needs a breadboard, components and links to get underway, so Maplins is a useful contact.

Having read the original version of this book many years ago I thought a look at the latest version would be worth while. The present version is much more up to date introducing digital electronics and microprocessor technology to the reader. The authors style is fairly down-to-earth and easy to follow and explanations are quite clear although, in a book of this size, some clarity is inevitably going to be sacrificed in covering such a wide field. However, as an introduction to the field of electronics this book has merit - particularly for those studying on their own. Some small errors were noticed in the text, mainly labeling in a couple of diagrams. On the whole a good effort by the author to reach his target audience.

Good Book
