Synopsis

""The Art of Electronics" get immediately to the point in simple language for each subject treated. It contains the most lucid narrative that this reviewer has found in any similar professional volume in recent years. This text succeeds in taking the student from very close to zero knowledge of electronics (or even electricity) to a point where he would be considered fully knowledgeable and perhaps even expert by typical researchers in the physical sciences."
