I finally get it…,
This is, hands down, the best book I have ever read on understanding electronics. I’ve had college and post-graduate courses that taught me how to analyze circuits and figure out what voltages, currents, resistances, etc. were at certain points. That was all well and good, but totally useless for anything that I wanted to do on my work bench.
In reality, what I needed was a holistic approach that narrated the circuit and the signals that are manipulated. I NEVER thought of circuits this way and the author was able to explain that the active elements are the players in the story and everything else is a supporting cast.
I could read a schematic, but I couldn’t understand why the components were there. I know that a capacitor doesn’t pass DC, but now I see that when placed in the circuit, it acts as a DC filter to remove noise before passing a signal to the next stage.
On top of all that, I realized that every circuit has a voltage that is used as a signal. Signal analysis, analog and digital, seemed like a very advanced topic that I only understood through major concepts (linearity, aliasing, etc). Now I realize that a battery and a light bulb has a signal just as a digital video camera does. One is just more complex.
Bottom line, this is the book that I couldn’t put down…and it is about some of the driest material you can find. It is written in a fun and enjoyable fashion. Every page had an “AH HA!” moment and I am much more confident in my electronics hobby and profession.
I cannot recommend this book enough and I would pay triple just for the section where the author walks through a couple sample circuits, describes each component’s function, and what would happen if that component failed.

This book is extremely well written, easy to follow and makes sense. The author actually “takes you by the hand” and leads you through simple test procedures, step by step and explains why things are being done.
If you are a beginner to electronics or even past the beginner stage and want to go beyond just opening up something that doesn’t work, looking for loose connections and burned components, this will be just what the doctor ordered.
The writing is top notch and done in such a manner that it’s truly enjoyable.
It’s been a long time since I’ve picked up a book written to actually be read and used.
A big thanks to Michael Geier for getting me back into troubleshooting and setting up a small repair area.

|Very pleased.,
Outstanding book. Nicely written, not full of tables and excessively technical jargon. Common sense approach to problem solving based on real life examples. As someone who majored in physics and engineering in college, I find it the book much more relevant to someone who doesn’t want to go through the years of schooling just to learn that the visibly leaking electrolytic capacitor or broken trace it all that is wrong. Nice section on using an oscilloscope for the newbie.
