Electronics > Beginners
The Art Of Electronics book is awesome!
mcovington:
I didn't mean there was nothing to electronics but Ohm's Law.
What I meant is that Ohm's Law has to be considered absolutely fundamental and has to be in your mind whenever you think about electricity. Of course in many situations you have to add other knowledge too.
Beginning students sometimes want to pigeonhole Ohm's Law as something you keep on a shelf and pull out when you need to do a calculation.
My point was simply that Ohm's Law has to be intuitive -- you have to have an intuitive understanding about voltage, current, and resistance, based on it.

I have a copy of that here! As well as all three editions of AofE. And Terman's 'Radio Engineering'. And the book by Eric(h) Zepler, written entirely from memory while he was interned in a camp on the Isle of Man, which is why there are no references...

I will for sure check out some of the other books mentioned.
I like reading about something or other then building it up on a breadboard and being able to fiddle about adding more components or whatever so I can actually see what is being taught. I tend to learn stuff easier doing it that way and it seems to stick in my memory more too.

We have wandered off topic and have started talking about some of the classic texts of the 1930's and 1940's. Sorry...

We have wandered off topic a wee bit but it's all good :)
All the posts are of recommendations for other good books for beginners or hobbyists or people who just like electronics and that can only be good.
I started the topic recommending 1 book and I have ended up with a few more that I will look into for sure.
That just shows how the forum for what it is.
Guys who know more and better sharing their hard earned knowledge with people who want to learn about electronics. :-+
