Book Reviews of Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics, Fourth Edition
Book Review: Kindle Edition: Decent, but flawed...
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
