About this title

From the Back Cover:

This time-honored text, now in its fifth edition, continues to offer comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of DC/AC electronics in a style that is both easy to read and easy to understand. Appropriate for use in any DC/AC Circuits course and for some Electronic Devices courses, it provides the solid foundation so necessary for a clear understanding of the field of electronics as a whole.

This finely-tuned, carefully tested, and accuracy checked volume is organized into four sections:

• Part I: The Fundamentals of Electricity
• Part II: Direct-Current Electronics
• Part III: Alternating-Current Electronics
• Part IV: Semiconductor Devices and Circuits

Having written 12 textbooks and 20 editions, and with 17 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook has produced yet another outstanding text in this fifth edition, once again making the world of electronics come vividly alive. The reader will quickly be put at ease by the student-friendly writing style and the author's ability to make traditionally difficult topics easily accessible.
