Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course

It has both theory and practice.

These series of books are invaluable and well worth the money

passt einwandfrei

Very disappointed! Who is the book intended for? Having studied Electronics theory from other great books, I wanted to get an insight and guidance to practical lab experience. The authors take too casual an approach in conveying the subject. Throughout the book the topics, explanations and lab exercises feel disconnected. It feels as though I have mistakenly entered a wrong classroom. They spontaneously introduce and refer to terms and topics which would not be mentioned till that point. I can point out numerous such instances. I wonder if the authors have even proofread the text. They have covered a great variety of important topics and content, but it all feels disconnected. The book feels like it is made for people who already have experience of working with electronics, but again the flow of the narration is so inconsistent that even such readers may be left wondering what's happening. Authors tried to make it a book that teaches electronics for a complete beginner, supposedly as an 'art', that fits their own definition. It is neither a textbook, nor a handbook, or a field book. It seems like an experiment with a concoction of a variety of teaching techniques. Two chapters into the book and I already feel I should look for some other book. Definitely not for beginners.

Ho acquistato anche la versione originale del 1980: nel confronto, l'attuale perde clamorosamente rispetto a quella vecchia! Che era pulita, schematica, essenziale. Ora è molto fumo ma poco arrosto ... Si fa fatica a capire quali siano le cose importanti, e, soprattutto, a determinare come calcolare e risolvere i circuiti.
