Are you ready to take your first steps into electronics?
Practical Electronics: A Complete Introduction is a comprehensive yet easy-to-use introduction to understanding electronics. Written by a leading expert, it gives you everything you need to know about electronics in one place.
The book is divided into five parts:

- Working with circuits: practical approaches
- Electronics design: introduction to creative design
- Action ideas: project ideas to try
From the evolution of electronics starting with the discovery of the electric cell and leading to the development of the digital computer and microcontrollers, through to the application of knowledge to practical situations, including working with circuits, electronics design and action ideas for electronics projects, each chapter covers a key introductory area. By the end you'll have a clear understanding of conventional and microcontroller electronics through hands-on experience, with a particular emphasis on creative electronic design.
