Hello, I am looking for a basic introductory textbook on electronics. Since it's introductory, nothing too rigorous required.
Topics:
Basic AC/DC introduction
Current, Charge, Voltage
Resistors
Series/Parallel circuits
Ohm's Law
Capacitors
Semiconductor devices (diodes, doping, impurities, N-P type, transistors etc)
Building a circuit (how they work, printed circuit boards)
Hopefully something on breadboards

Once again, an introduction so "Art of electronics" and similar are WAY too advanced. Thanks.

I'm surprised that you find the AoE book too advanced (it really does start with the basics), but that's fine. Here's a recent short thread from the EE forum that mentions a couple intro-type electronics books:

Really, what is mean is a high school level introduction, not the physics of it. Thanks, I'll check those.
