5Intro to Electronics 4E  Sep 17, 2005 By James S. Haberer "Scotty/Sioux City"
I am using this book for a class. I have found it very useful for someone who has never been exposed to this material. It is a great text book and it doesn't assume that the reader knows very much. THings are broken down and illustrated profusely. Chapters are short and sweet, with lots of reader-exercises to drill and check material comprehension. Scotty/Sioux City

4Good for newbies  Jan 02, 2002 By Bryan Rausch
I feel that this is a good book for newbies. It teaches electronics from ground up. There were a few chapters that should have been placed else where in the book though. Other then that it was great!

1Too inconsistent and very poor editing  Nov 07, 2010 By Phil Hutchinson
I've been forced to use this text and its accompanying lab book for the past two quarters in school and I have NOT liked it. The only thing you can learn from it is vocabulary terms.

I would swear this book was written by more than one person. Some chapters explain things somewhat clearly and have relevant accompanying pictures and diagrams, while other chapters consist solely of random, disorganized facts thrown at the reader. Some chapters include actual problems for the student to work on while others have no problems at all.

The editing is extremely poor. Should a 5th edition book *still* have spelling errors in it? Also, there are sentences that are just flat-out wrong and which should have also been corrected several editions ago. The lab book is even worse. It is rife with errors and often just repeats writing down vocabulary terms, a complete waste of lab time.

Skip this book if you can. There are FAR better introductions to electronics out there. I recommend those written by Stan Gibilisco, David Bell or Mitchel Schultz.

2Book needs better editing  Sep 25, 2009 By RK
This book needs better formatting/editing. It often works through examples that are referenced in a chart/diagram on another page.
I am a Junior Mechanical Engineering student, and the book tone seems a little "dumbed down" for an academic science class, this book works well for those in tech programs that only need to touch on electronics.

4Good book however...  Jun 21, 2002 By R. Beaty "Jitsuman"
This book was nice and simple, not over stressing anything. However it has quite a few mistakes in the formulas(it is the 4th edition, It should have less than it does).Good book to learn from however.
