Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Excellent if you really want to understand electronic circuits. - Just finished this book, and have learnt a lot. Most beginners electronics books will focus on building a set of circuits, chosen to be interesting. This book is not like that. It concentrates on the fundamental circuit components and designs, explaining why they are as they are. In this way you learn a lot more than if you just followed a build, and gain a good foundation of knowledge. The text is very accessible, concise and well written making if a fairly quick read. Be aware that Maths is is used, but it is basic and serves to illustrate the topic. The more complex maths is relegated to an appendix. Highly recommend as a starting book, or as a complementary reference and guide. Review: Well described/explained - The author is clear and concise on explanations and concepts. Pros - Concise explanations of various topics - Steps up from basics to more advanced to an well ordered manner Cons - Content material may be maths heavy for some on advanced topics - I'd personally would have liked more programming content in the book, felt like I need another book to build upon this building up Arduino/Circuitpython knowledge ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 406,449 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 497 in Computer Hardware (Books) 697 in Electronics & Communications Engineering | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (325) | | Dimensions | 15.6 x 2.72 x 23.39 cm | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1484259785 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1484259788 | | Item weight | 726 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 530 pages | | Publication date | 2 Sept. 2020 | | Publisher | Apress | ## Images ![Electronics for Beginners: A Practical Introduction to Schematics, Circuits, and Microcontrollers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m5va62tRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent if you really want to understand electronic circuits. *by R***K on 27 March 2021* Just finished this book, and have learnt a lot.
