Ebook: All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self Teaching Guides)

One thing that I like about this book is that it gives you something that is very important PRACTICE. I have not yet read the whole book, but I'm in chapter six, and so far it's been a great book. I also like the fact that it has a mathematical approach yet it does not go beyond algebra (there is actually a tiny bit of trigonometry in chapter six, but I was still able get by knowing pretty much what was going on). Overall an excellent book.

Learn the fundamental principles of electronic circuits at your own pace
For almost 30 years, this book has been a classic text for electronics enthusiasts. Now completely updated for today's technology with easy explanations and presented in a more user-friendly format, this third edition helps you learn the essentials you need to work with electronic circuits. All you need is a general understanding of electronics concepts such as Ohm's law and current flow, and an acquaintance with first-year algebra. This book's question-and-answer format, illustrative experiments, and self-tests at the end of each chapter make it easy for you to learn at your own speed.
