Understanding Basic Electricity: A Non-Technical… von Irwin Math
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.A nice book on the basics of electricity for the beginner. While it's basic, it still has to dive into some technical language which can be boring - not the author's fault but the subject's! Handy to have on hand for when I need explanations about wiring in our house or specs on appliances but I still won't likely be pulling it off the shelf to read too often. But thanks to the author for explaining things so even us non-practical folks can understand.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Understanding Basic Electricity is a book that reminds me that many things we use daily is complicated. Who really thinks about grounding, voltage and amps when turning on the lights. I do not. Hw electricity works should be given to a young person before to help them understand science. With all the time we spend learning, we spend little time understanding. I admit, I was intrigued by this title because I think about electricity each time a new gadget is on the market or I think of adding a new item to the many that are currently in my living space.

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.I was absolutely overwhelmed by this book. I wanted to understand something about electricity but this seemed like a master class. I couldn't understand any of it and was really overwhelmed by the amount of text.
After reading the review by the electronics engineer I was concerned that the reader would depend on figures and text that were wrong. I am not sure I would depend on this book for information.

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Received as an early reviewer.
As someone who understood absolutely zero about electricity prior to receiving this book, I have to say I'm very impressed with it's ability to explain the subject without alienating its audience (laypeople such as myself). This isn't the type of book I would typically pick out, but I'm very glad to have been given the chance to review it since it's done such a fine job of teaching me about a topic I have always been intimidated by!
