Product Description:
This is the thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the single, authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book has sold over 120,000 copies, and has been translated into eight languages.This book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers--a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks.The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brain storming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance. This completely new edition responds to the breakneck pace of change in electronics with totally rewritten chapters on microcomputers and microprocessors, substantially revised chapters on digital electronics, on op-amps and precision design, and on construction techniques.Every table has been revised, and many new ones have been added. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that made the first edition so successful and popular.

- The Art of Electronics
Absolutely a must read for anyone interested in or working in electronics.Amateur radio, technician or electrical engineer.Great reference and review, even if you've "learned it before."
Rating: 
- An advanced book
This book may be an excellent book for the electrical engineer, but not for the average "learn-it-on-your-own" person.It offers lots of questions in the text, but no answers.Without an instructor who actually cares about teaching, I would not recommend this book.
Rating: - A Different Book on Technology
A friend turned me on to this book. It is a very refreshing and easy to understand book on electronics technology and principles, and not the very dry descriptions as in many textbooks on the subject.
Sort of a "for dummies" type of writing style, but stepped up in technical content. A tip of the hat to Horowitz and Hill!

- great book and excellent customer service
I ordered this book to give to my husband.I never received my original order so I called Amazon to send me a replacement and they were kind enough to send it to me overnight.I am so glad that it I got it in time for the holidays. Myhusband uses this book for reference and he admits that it is a great book.

- Not useful for learning electronics on your own.
I've put a lot of effort into reading this book in an attempt to learn practical electronics. There are some very good points about this book. It covers a lot of the subject, from simple resistors to microcomputers to radio-frequency circuits and the authors are careful to explain how to make circuits that are resistant to component tolerance. I like this fail-safe approach.
On the other hand, from the point of view of someone learning this on his own (i.e. not in a classroom setting ... Read More
