 Foundation for the study and application of electical theory Oct 14, 2000
By D Robert Amthor
I first read volumes 1-5 ten years ago when I started working as an elevator technician. My copies are third time hand-me-downs of the original 1954 publication. These are without a doubt the most helpful books I have ever read on basic electrical theory. Each topic is clearly and concisely explained and forms a building block for further topics in the series. These books form the foundation of knowledge I use in everyday real world applications. The authors explain each principle with reference to real world examples to allow the reader to relate what they have read to what they have seen.

Perfect for any beginner! Mar 20, 2001
By Tracy L. Carter
Absolutely the best book I've found to explain electricity, in the most simplictic form. I'm a person who learns through visual diagrams and this book is chaulked full of easy to understand drawings. Each chapter ends with a review section to reiterate what you've learned and a self-test that follows. Excellent book!

The "bible" on electricty-electronics for any beginner. Sep 15, 1999
This book is better than all the other selfteach manuals presently on the market.It is not hypermath or over-simplistic.It saved me over $2000 in trying to learn electronics from a correspondence school.If you want to travel on a journey through electronics, this book is your first step!

Finally, a book written for 2004! Sep 11, 2004
By DoTell
I enjoy certain books, and positively despise most others.
The kind of technical books I hate are the kinds that instead of having plenty of graphical visual aids, greet you with hieroglyphics, like those checkmark division signs, and what not, upon opening to just about any page. I'm hesitant to turn pages in those books, as I fear awakening some long dead vengeful Pharaoh.
Seriously . . .
Basic Electricity, (by Nooger Van Valkenburgh) has motivated this, my first review.
It's an excellent book because it's been written 'down to my level'. When I'm finished with this book, I am confident that I will have some kind of foundation and become inspired to pursue some hobby type projects, which I had always felt would be at bay. Now, no book on Electricity would be complete without some theory and math, and this book has only so much of that, and much more of what you can visualize.
The way that the section on ac/dc motors is presented is an excellent example of what I like in well written (and illustrated) books.
Conclusion: Well over 600 pages of demonstratively written, straight-forward, and clearly illustrated study.
I look forward to coming across a similarly composed book on Electronics Projects.

excellent introduction to electricity! Jul 03, 2005
By desert warrior
"laser_mechanic"
Although basic as the title suggests, it is an excellent text with lots of problems and explanations for those requiring a technician's understanding of practical electricity. Dont expect an electrical engineering circuit analysis book, for that get Mr. Van Valkenburgh's Engineering Circuits, or Bobrow's excellent Elementary Circuit Analysis and Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering.
