Electrical Engineering Textbook: Alternatives to Allan Hambley

[tamtam402]

My school use this book: http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Engineering-Applications-Allan-Hambley/dp/0132130068/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322261958&sr=8-2.

I feel like there's a lot of important information missing, and the book doesn't explain stuff in a way that assumes the reader knows absolutely nothing. According to a lot of people on the internet, Hambley's book makes a great reference, but it's horrible when you're learning for the first time. Got any recommendations?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the book used in your school. I completely understand the importance of having a comprehensive and easy-to-understand resource when learning a new subject. I would recommend looking into "Principles of Electric Circuits: Conventional Current Version" by Thomas L. Floyd. It is a highly recommended textbook for beginners in electrical engineering and provides clear explanations and examples. Additionally, another helpful resource could be online tutorials or videos that break down concepts in a more simplified manner. I hope this helps and good luck with your studies!
