1.		MAKE: Electronics: Learning Through Discovery from Make Price: $20.00 Customer Review: The author uses an outdated analogy of electricity using a water tank to represent the batteries, and its this analogy that probably causes him to get the definition wrong on some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	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Practical Arduino: Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware (Technology in Action) from Apress Price: $24.62 Customer Review: If you're a software hacker and have always had a bit of trepidation about building anything serious electronically but aren't too bad with a soldering iron then this will get you going. The Arduino circuit board is designed to take some of the rawness out of building electronic circuits and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		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.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Microelectronic 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	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Electronics For Dummies from For Dummies Price: $12.49 Customer Review: I was looking for help on using an oscilloscope as well as better understanding simple electronics, and the "dummies" series books are in my opinion very helpful and simple to understand.

6.		Electric Circuits (9th Edition) (MasteringEngineering Series) 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 Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics, Fourth Edition from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $18.98 Customer Review: 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... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	Art of Electronics from Cambridge University Press Price: $80.00 Customer Review: Got this book as a reference on electrical components in experimental applications and I am very pleased. Everything one could ever hope for (except cookies) are included in this book, and it has already helped me create quite a few components which I most likely would have made errors on otherwise.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Soul of a New Machine from Little Brown & Co (T) Price: $7.94 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Practical Electronics for Inventors from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $19.00 Customer Review: 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 Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Master Handbook of Acoustics from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $17.99 Customer Review: This is the best technical book I've ever read. Virtually every page has useful information that has furthered my understanding of acoustics. I've never read a technical book from cover to cover before, but that is what I'm doing with the Handbook. There are plenty of graphs, pictures and diagrams... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Control Systems Engineering, 3rd Edition from John Wiley & Sons Customer Review: The book is extremely clear, lucid explanations and the mathematical treatments are very intuive and doesn't escape steps, this is a wonderful book to treasure for good. George Ellis's book, "control system design" is another flower in the garden.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Engineering Economic Analysis from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $1.01 Customer Review: mean median std dev its in there. i don't much care for stats but you can learn how to play cards better :)	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		The Radio Amateur's Hand Book from BiblioLife Price: $24.98 Customer Review: This book was written for and continually refers to it's illustrations and figures. Because they were removed, reading this book is not worthwhile. Recommend removal from Kindle.	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Arrl Antenna Book: The Ultimate Reference for Amateur Radio Antennas from American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Price: $35.00 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. If one is looking for "how to construct" information, they would be better served looking at other publications that provide a more simplified approach.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Beginner's Guide to Reading Schematics from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $7.95 Customer Review: If you have absolutely no experience reading schematics this book will help you some. I got it because I have a basic understanding but wanted to brush up and improve my reading skills. The book was of no real help and I stopped reading it halfway through. They show you symbols but give no real... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		How to Test Almost Everything Electronic from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $13.96 Customer Review: Purchased book used. Advertised as in "good condition" on Amazon. In actuality, the book is in excellent condition. Although, somewhat dated, copyright 1993, it now could be retitled, "How to Test Not So Much Everything Electronic", it does contain much useful information. I am especially happy with... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Build Your Own Electric Vehicle from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $15.76 Customer Review: This is a great guide and the first edition would be rated much higher by me. I consider this to be the best book on conversions. But I was really hoping this second edition would be updated with the many improvements we have seen, especially in battery technology. Unfortunately the authors gave... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

21.		Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $51.22 Customer Review: This book is okay as a reference book to help you learn Matlab beyond just the basic language features.

The book also feels... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Mathematics for the Trades: A Guided Approach (6th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $54.41 Customer Review: I got the book right away which helped because school was going to start in a week. Great price for book.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Foundations of Electronics: Circuits & Devices Conventional Flow from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $159.44 Customer Review: This textbook is far and away the best I've ever seen on the subject. I wholeheartedly agree with the previous review, and would like to add a few comments of my own. This book, as a stand-alone text, is outstanding. If you combine this book, the lab project manual(sold separately-around $70), and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

26.		Programmable Logic Controllers from Career Education Price: $85.28 Customer Review: Required text for 3 of my courses. Petruzella takes a great approach in Programmable Logic Controllers.

29.		Machine Tool Practices (7th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $89.97 Customer Review: Price, service, and quick shipping were all good. The book was shipped in a thin plastic envelope which allowed the book to become damaged in shipment. The words are all there, the cover will never be the same. For this book it is not worth the effort to do anything about it except this review which... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings from Clearwater Publishing Price: $7.85 Customer Review: I picked this book up without knowing anything about electricity. Now that I'm finished, I can build a battery out of lemons, a radio out of a few dollars worth of Radio Shack parts, a truck light complete with an on/off switch, I know the similarities between a toaster, oven, and clothes dryer; and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
