Basic Electronics

Being a retired engineer but still doing research work, found myself in need of refreshment courses. Bernard Grob's book is a magnificent work of printed text, in art, illustrations, composition, academic technology, and up to the state art in electronics. I cannot put it down for another day, it is so well written and beautiful in colored illustrations. It carries you all the way through to three phase generators, electronic devices, circuits, digital electronics, and integrated circuits. Very clear and precise in instruction, you can't miss the point. The illustrations are a great aid to those with short span retention memories. A great book for college, and reference for those of us having to review late in life. Worth more than its present price.

I have read this textbook many times over the years, by that I mean various editions. I always come back to it when I want to refresh my memory on electronic fundamentals. It was the first electronic text I was introduced to in 1965 at a technical institute in Indiana and it is used for a fundamentals course in an engineering school I am enrolled in now, what does that tell you about Grobs work. I recommend it highly.

I'm using this book as a self-study guide. It really starts from the basic assuming that you know nothing. I bought a locally printed edition of this book which costs US$20 which have an uglier cover, and I think it's worth more than that.You might need to struggle with it at first, but it's really worth it.

This is simply the best of all basic electronics books. It is easy to understand and will give you a solid background in all areas of basic electronics. There is no wonder why major colleges, trade schools and other learning institutions select this book as their basic electronics textbook. I recommend it highly.

This book is a must have if you are interested in studying electronics. Grob really knows how to expain things. There are chapter summarys and extensive self test. I love this book. It was one of my text books many years ago in college. Some how or another over the years I misplaced it. The price may be a little steephat might sound steep to some but it's really worth it if your serious about educating yourself in the feild of electronics. It also makes a excellent reference for those of us that don't have photographic memories.
