Wow
This book is insane! I need to have a proper look through it but I can say so far its unbelievable... the amount of knowlege in this book is second to none! This book would be perfect for anyone in any electronics field as it covers so much from basic components to schematics and how to design your own boards for your very own designs/projects,I also really like all the equations as I feel like im studying theorethical physics or something along those lines.... I'm about as far from sheldon cooper as can be but its nice to imagine 😂

NOT for beginners
I'm sure this is an excellent book but it's so difficult for me. I bought it to understand electronics (I'm a complete novice) and the blurb on the back of the book gave me the impression it was suitable for beginners. It's not. The first chapter has some formulas that I didn't understand. In fact, the whole book is full of formulas. I got the gist of chapter one but this is not going to be an easy book to get through. Some of the diagrams are also not the clearest. Anyway, it's a hefty tome and the quality of the paper is quite good, a little thin, but I don't mind that. At this stage of my learning though, I will need to read an easier book in conjunction with this one. That's a good excuse to buy more books :)

My son ate this book inside two weeks
My 10 year old devoured this book, then spent next few weeks explaining everything he'd learned to anyone who would listen.I look forward to reading it myself one day, but it really inspired him :D

Excellent volume of knowledge.
I’ve had a quick scan of this book and it is all encompassing the knowledge I need. Very happy with purchase and have some serious reading to do.

A comprehensive yet no-nonsense introduction to Electronics.
Bought this book because I was heading into an Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree, it's been serving as a very handy accompaniment thus far. The basic theory chapter at the start of the book is very comprehensive and the later, more application-focused chapters serve as a patient introduction to the various aspects of electronics that doesn't presumptuously hurtle off into advanced concepts in the same way 'The Art Of Electronics' does.The writing is very clear and concise, in general it has a very no-nonsense, plain-English approach to explaining things that doesn't require a lot of tangential thought experiments like some other books, but still detailed enough to give you a very robust understanding of the subject matter.I will say that it is a purely Electronics focused book, don't expect much coverage on the theory behind electrical machines like motors and generators, or power electronics. So while this has been a big help so far, and it will probably be all the information a home tinkerer will need, it's not a one-stop solution for a EEE student.
