Customer Reviews

Interesting for investors.

Good book ever for the ones who want know the inside of electronic « nucleus ».

Valuable and enjoyable.

Great book! This book takes you from basics (using flowing water as an analogy) to designing elementary digital circuits. It's guaranteed to become dog-eared from use as you rely upon it as both a text and reference manual. I've been an electronics hobbyist since TVs had tubes and transistor radios were leading edge technology. Over the years I've forgotten much of what I had learned, and hadn't learned a great deal in the digital arena. This book re-taught me what I had forgotten, in a better way than I had first learned it, and brought me up to speed on digital circuits.Yes, as another reviewer noted, there are some errors that crept in. They often do. They aren't show stoppers and they shouldn't stop you from buying and using this valuable guide.

Excellent entry level book

It's probably safe to assume that the majority of people who read books about basic electronics do so because they intend to build things. This book caters to such an audience. It provides theory and examples that allow you to build your own basic circuits. The concepts aren't easy, but the author helps you understand them.

Practical and Excellent!

This is an excellent book as far as content. It offers practical and insightful information for the engineer and hobbyist. It is not loaded down with formulas and theory. This is real "hands on" stuff! Be careful though as there are alot of typos. I believe it will become one of the classics like The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill. A must have for the engineer, hobbyist or inventor!

Practical Electronics For Inventors

This book rocks! I'm an engineering student, and I've been looking for a book like this for some time. It's really covers topics in a manner that I can understand, and seems to touch upon everything in electronics, from theory, semiconductors, integrated circuits, stepper motors and servos, microcontrollers, LCD displays, etc. The drawing are pretty damn cool too. I highly recommend this book to anyone--beginner or engineer.
