1.MAKE: Electronics: Learning Through DiscoveryMAKE: Electronics: Learning Through Discovery
from Make
Price: $20.00

Customer Review:
The author uses an outdated analogy of electricity using a water tank to represent the batteries, and its this analogy that probably causes him to get the definition wrong on some physical quantities. I don't think it will cause any problem if your are just interested in hobby use and not interested... more info

3.All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self Teaching Guides)All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self Teaching Guides)
from Wiley
Price: $18.98

Customer Review:
This book is very helpful for understanding how circuits work. The question answer format really helped me see how electronic circuits work. This is much more effective than the more theoretical books.
I would recomend this book to anyone trying to understanding how electronic circuits work.

4.Microelectronic Circuits, 4thMicroelectronic Circuits, 4th
from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
Sedra's text is terse and muddled. If I sought to create a book which was difficult to understand, the first thing I would do is fail to define the terms in an explicit and clear manner. My stepfather, who happens to hold a bachelor's in electrical engineering called the text 'horrible' when he... more info

from Prentice Hall
Price: $132.23

Customer Review:
In the real world there is no help. I can see why schools use crap books such as this one and I can see why students who have taken this class earlier do better. The problem is students that have additional help such as parents, friends, father-in-laws and thus spend zero money and have well wishers... more info

Customer Review:
I have a strong computer background. I am an engineer not a writer, but how this could have gotten a Pulitzer Prize is beyond me. It is so poorly written that I had to force myself to finish it as I was sure it would pick up in the end....it did not. I cant even recommend it to a single friend in... more info

All the reviewers who point out the numerous errors in the book are absolutely correct. I believe, however, that they fail to realize the true utility of the book by trying to use the book as the main or only source of info. They should realize, instead, that the book intends only to be the starting... more info

Customer Review:
This is an "OK" reference for those looking for information on a variety of antenna's and applications. Having said that, it is way too technical.

Purchased book used. Advertised as in "good condition" on Amazon. In actuality, the book is in excellent condition.

Customer Review:
This book is okay as a reference book to help you learn Matlab beyond just the basic
language features. However, you will need another book as the
main text to learn numerical methods. Be warned that each chapter touches the
subject in a very superficial way. The book also feels... more info
