Truly outstanding for beginners or those who have been away from electronics for a long time. The author does an excellent job of providing an intuitive understanding of each of the components under discussion. I also have a number of electronic books that were written by academics for academics and they are largely useless. I intend to acquire copies of all of the author's books; the only other author that I have followed in this manner is Forrest Mims.

An excellent follow-on to Make: Electronics! I've tried to learn electronics a number of times over the years, and each time I made it a little farther before bogging down. Make Electronics was my latest attempt, and this time I think I'm getting it! The explanations are clear, the order of subjects makes perfect sense, only as much theory and math as are absolutely required are used, and the pictures and diagrams are clearly laid out with the reasons why specific symbols, colors, etc. were selected are explained. Charles Platt clearly is a master of the subject, and is very capable of explaining the subject material. Based on my prior attempts, about half of what was in Make: Electronics was review for me, but Make: More Electronics is mostly new, and mostly things that I just didn't get in the past, but I'm understanding it now due to the same clear, well ordered explanations as in the prior book. This one picks up where Make: Electronics left off, and continues into more complex areas, such as AC circuits and OpAmps, with some fun and interesting projects. The explanations of how to approach a design are especially useful...you can't just copy other's designs forever!
If you want to learn electronics, you won't go wrong with Make: Electronics, followed by Make: More Electronics. The set of three parts encyclopedias that Mr. Platt has also published are well worth a look as well. These aren't tutorials, like Make: Electronics and Make: More Electronics, but they aren't simple catalogs of parts either...they go into the theory, variations, uses, and cautions for a host of electronics parts from transformers, to transistors, and connectors. Based on my reading of these books, I'd certainly want to take a look at anything else Mr. Platt produces!

I bought this cause I thought I knew a little about electronics. Turns out I didn't know as much as I thought and should have bought the beginner book first (which I ended up doing). Once I finish that book, i'll move on to this one.

This book is nice, but one must be patient and pay close attention to part values when building the circuits, just be patient and it will pay off.

The first half of the book was worth the time and money. After that it went to information I was not interested in. Stumbled thru it tho learning about stuff I will never use.
I give it 4 stars because I did learn from it.
