 2 nd edition electrical engineering 101 August 26, 2010
Raul Rizik (Rio Piedras, San Juan, PR)
The book is like I was expected. Very freindly, very good to read. The languaje is like a conversation.
In all fairness thank you Darren, January 6, 2010

I bought the book by chance, thinking I would get some elementary information about Power systems which I am not extremely familiar with.
After reading up to chapter 2, I thought I am extremely lucky having read this book, and it ought to be recommended to First year Electronics Engineering students, Lecturers and TA.
I enjoyed the author's unprecedented (in a technical book) down to earth in his writing style (which what make this book stand out) and the information presentation (voltage divider amazing explanation, Real life examples (situation) which an engineer is faced with...),
indeed the book is not perfect later chapter's needs some improvements, the book is NOT intended to be comprehensive reference book i.e. art of electronics...
However the book makes sure understand the basic concepts and Fill the Gabs (interconnect the ideas) no other book on electronics have ever tried,
>It could be called: the missing link of electronics<
If new edition would be published in future I'll buy it.
However I think you will never regret reading it.
A good resource for all electrical engineers that are interested in the fundamentals of the field and beyond. September 1, 2009
M. Stewart (Detroit, MI USA)
I bought the book because I was looking to enhance my practical knowledge in the electrical engineering field of study. Not only do I feel that the book helped me to accomplish that, but I gained much more. First, from the first chapter to the last chapter, there were thumb rules, principals, illustrations and examples to help make electrical engineering less formidable to study ( something that is not common place in engineering school). Second, the book gives advice that can help you to make yourself more marketable to potential employers. Third, the book gives practical advice for success on the job for managers as well as employees. Finally, Mr. Ashby was willing to answer any questions concerning the book or pertaining to the field of electrical engineering in general. I thought the book was worth every penny.
 Great concept, so-so final product April 17, 2009
Doug DeFord (Kennewick, WA USA)
While the idea of the book is valuable, its organization and the author's writing style leave something to be desired. Glad I bought it, but it's a struggle to "get" the concepts as presented here.
Stay in school!

I was hoping that this book would help me understand some of my sticking points a little better. However I found that it was more a refresher on things you already know but want to understand a bit better. So this book won't help with things you never really got in the first place or don't know anything about now. I found better explanations doing searches for specifics on google.
