Understanding Basic Electronics (Softcover)

This book is very well written. Concepts I never understand are made clear in an easy to understand manner. I highly recommend this book.

Book content was good. But I faced 3 problems.Delay of more than 12 days, the original schedule was 28 days but in Amazon I always received the products much ahead of schedule, hence I was anticipating same for this order too but actually got it 41th day.Book was printed in 2011, and seemed like taken out from a library ( but new, not used one), I could see lots of library seals inside the book.MRP was 27 $, but I paid close to 60$.....Having said all these, I liked the book, so decided to keep it

This is an interesting book, as it covers a broad amount of subject matter. I struggled with the organization a bit, as Unit 1 - Introduction, seemed to cross into specifics, and some of the other sections seemed to be just introductory. Also, it seems to present some concepts in more depth than related topics. For example, capacitive and inductive reactive responses to frequency are presented, but passive filters are barely touched if at all, while resonant circuits are discussed in more detail. This may be due the importance of resonant circuits in Amateur Radio. In all, I find the depth on par for an introductory text but the breadth of topics inconsistent. As I read more, I found many of the explanations well thought out and easy to absorb. There seems to be some hidden gems of knowledge that aren't represented in the table of contents, which is great, but points to an organization issue. I like this book a lot.

This book is a very good introduction to electronics if you want to really understand it. Many other books skip over stuff but this is really in depth. I only wish it was an ebook because it is pretty big and heavy.

Good book to have as a reference when learning ham radio
