Practical Electronics for Inventors, Fourth Edition

“Practical Electronics for Inventors, Fourth Edition” is an important book to anyone learning electronics or looking to understand theory and parts. Paul Scherz and Simon Monk are the authors of this attractive book. The author explains many many technical things about electronics and electricity. You could spend a long time reading this book and adsorbing useful, albeit somewhat nerdy, knowledge from it. This is a great book, with a lot of extra info, worked into the 4th edition. This is a perfect reference book, period. It has information starting from what electricity is, all the way to multiple circuit diagrams and theories of electricity. Great book on basic electricity and electronics – very informative and excellent introductory source into the field of electronics – both theoretical and with some useful practical examples. It is educative and also a great reference source. It is well written with many details explained in depth. It is like an all-around electronics course in one book. Good balance between applications, technical information, and theory. It can be used as a guide for learning electronics in a practical order helping you learn progressively and decide which areas require more research-based on your goals or interests. All in all, this is an excellent reference for someone who wants a one-stop-shop to review any of the wide variety of topics that are covered. This book does seem to be more focused on the breadth of topics than depth, so it may be more useful to hobbyists than professionals. In either case, the book should be a valuable pickup for anyone in search of a solid overview of electronic circuits.
