Summary: Who Said Electronics Isnt Any Fun ? Five Stars
Review: I had Dr. Shanefield as a professor at Rutgers for many courses especially in the area of electronic ceramics and I enjoyed his classes. This book is a great book because: - It makes a typically complicated subject manner like electronics and circuits understandable and enjoyable. - It is simple, easy to follow and very well organized. - College courses focus in on the theory where this book provides the theory and most important the applications to practice and further understand. I think this is a great book to have at your personal disposal. I would also like to state that my food scientist wife who hated electronics because she didn't understand it, now enjoys this subject matter and has a great deal of fun performing and understanding the labs. I too enjoy performing the labs as well. Kudos Dr. Shanefield !

Summary: Industrious little book!
Review: This book is both lab manual and textbook, so if you do not have the exact measuring instruments the labs call for, you can skip lots of sections where the author really gets into setting the tests up. The primary value of this book for me were the clear explanations that came with the labs on how electronic components worked; but more importantly, how they related to one another and what they mean in a circuit. This book provides some valuable intuitive insights necessary to understand electronics, and I haven't seen this level and concentration of lucid discourse in any other electronics textbooks so far. This is a must-get book for anyone unfamiliar with electronics!
