With a slide rule?

Can someone help me with a list of electronic books they use in college/university which i can download. I have "Electronic Principles" 8th edition from Albert Malvino and David Bates, but maybe there are better books which are easier to read and don't go too deep in theory with too much calculus. I don't have a problem with calculus, i'm a mechanical engineer, but the book must be a bit more practical. The Malvino and Bates book is good, but maybe there is something better.

Have you seen "Electronic Devices" by Thomas Floyd? I have the now-ancient third edition. It's fairly good for, say, small signal analysis of BJTs and FETs, and covers op-amps too. I think it's a bit more advanced than Malvino, though not hugely. It's reasonably light on calculus but not particularly practical, I'd say.
robsims:
Yes, "Electronic devices" of Floyd 9th edition at first sight seems good too. Not too much math and practical. That's what i like. Not that i have a problem with math, i mean i'm a math and physics man, but i like the practical side of things too. Thanks aneevuser. I speak dutch and i have a friend who has some dutch books, so i will also look into those books too.

The two core circuits books in my EE program in the 90s were Nilsson "Electric Circuits" and Sedra/Smith "Microelectronic Circuits". The latter was used in more advanced classes.
Both are still in print, many editions advanced now. Looking at them makes me feel old.

Circuit Analysis and Design by Ulaby, Michel M. Maharbi

Mostly very much ado about nothing, but for the price, can't be beat. Good examples on how not to best design using inappropriate circuit analysis methods, with a failure to mention important design tools such as LTSpice, and results to leading a student to gain an over complicated and confused understanding on how to design circuits, for example, designing a BJT amplifier circuit using mostly Thevenin circuit analysis. Yet still some valuable information about ohm's law, capacitors, inductors, op-amps, etc.

T]o find what the latest textbooks are used in electronic engineering courses at the best schools, like MIT or CalTech, etc. simply enquire at the appropriate college/university bookstores or contact the university of interest about textbooks needed for a specific course.
