If you want to know how to design stuff that works without getting bogged down in the kind of math that gives most people the sweats, BUY THIS BOOK.
Yes, some of it is showing it's age, but even those bits have an enormous amount of clever design insights and very cool solutions to non obvious problems.
In short, whether electronics is a hobby or a career, you cannot do without this book on your shelf, preferably close at hand.

I've used this book for two quarters at ohio university in physics 272 and 273. Other than the fact that the lab courses doen't do much in the way of actual teaching, this text and it's sarcasm is awful.
It does ask a lot of questions, but as a teaching text for an introductory set of labs, it is terrible. You may think I'm just too stupid to benefit from sarcastic questions with no material in the text to answer them, but if that is the case, you are probably some nerd type that knows very little in the way of education.
I'll be selling this set of texts, which is unusual, since as a teacher, I generally keep all my texts for future reference (even my introduction to particle physics by Das, and my quantum mechanics text by Ira Levine)...save money and use google, or wikipedia you will find more detailed answers.

This book came well recommended and has not been a disappointment. It is not in the style of anything written by the ARRL for learning LRC and RF material, nor had it been presented as such.
The information is very detailed and very complete. Some areas are a little devoid of extensive material but the reader should be easily guided to finding material that will complete their education.
I found nothing that was inaccurate and that says a lot for any technical publication. It covers most of the basics and does it very well. If you are looking for extremely detailed information in any particular subject, this is not the book for you.
Do not omit this book from your library. It is a de facto standard and deserves a lot of respect.
#1 Source Book For Electronics March 8, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Without doubt, this is the best single source book on the subject of electronics that has ever been written. Most publications on the subject are too technical with language hardly anyone understands.
The clear straight forward approach, written in everyday language, with a deemphpasis on mathematics, can truly take one from a novice, to a well respected professional. I know, I'm one of them.
Sincerely,
Robert K Walcott

The book technoligy wise is a little out of date but the prinicples are still very current. I found this to put into layman terms what I was in some case having a hard time explaining to non-technical people. A very usefull and informitive aide in electronics.
