Review
“
I’ve read a lot of textbooks and other explanatory material on the internet, and it simply does not get better than this book. This book was written in a way that a country bumpkin from 1940 who couldn’t even pronounce ‘algebra’ can actually understand electricity, perform the calculations, and troubleshoot electrical systems. The explanations are complete yet simple, the illustrations are clear and sometimes comical, and rarely do I find myself dozing off while reading. The material is engaging and interesting enough that I just keep going and taking notes. A must buy for anyone who wants to self teach electricity.”
