Reviews:

starsExcellent book
The book is in very good state like it was described on the list. Strongly recommended for the salesman of the Amazon.


starsthank you for deliverying qiuckly.
I satisfy this book which is history and pakageing and delivery period and so on.


starsGood Advanced Text.
It does not seem that many people like this book. I employed it for a level of sophmore the circuits that analogues run to my university. I found it to be an excellent text and very useful in the electrical engineering of arrangement. This text is designed to be read with a paper and a pencil at disposal. It is not one to rest to the bottom and kind of book does not include/understand it. It requires a certain sincere and devoted study, because the matter requires. It presents a certain number of difficult problems to help to stretch the analytical possibilities of the student. It also comes with very useful software. It is not the best handbook than I ever saw but it is narrow.


starsNot a good book
I had to get this book because my school required it but if I had the choice I would look for a better book. This book has no answers in the back and a select few on the book resources. The example problems are not very helpful and the book is confusing in almost every way.


starsUtter Waste of Time
Please learn electrical engineering? You in a chair rest and do not do absolutely anything during 10 hours. You will not learn anything, but you will learn that more than what this book must offer.


starsNorwegian
This book is merely a superficial survey of circuits; it takes the fun out of an interesting area. Look elsewhere for real understanding.


starsTruly aweful
I am required to use this text for an introductory EE course for non-EE majors at my university. The text is at times nearly cryptic (especially FETs), does not give enough examples, and unfortunately most of the problems in the book do not have answers (some are online.) And, in general, I feel unprepared academically to answer the end-of-chapter problems after reading the chapter and doing the (very few) examples. I have done online searches on some of the subjects in this book and come across free webpages with FAR better explanations. If you learn by doing problems, don't waste your money here.


starsBOOK LACKS ANSWERS
The course that this book is employed for is very difficult, and there should be at least each odd response in the book. You try to study and you do not know if your to obtain the good answer because the answers are not enumerated in the back of the book.


starsAbsolutely Deplorable
It is one of worst books the than I never had to employ, no diagram of formula, bad answers of examples not to the wet questions. All around this book should be removed market.


starsThe cover says it all...
The book is on technology eletrical and the cover is something to make with American football. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is absolutely no bond between the two! The best part of this book is its cover. Obtain my drift?


starsGreat coverage, but misses some essentials...
I'm a first year student in electrical engineering and I've been using this book since August as main source. I must admit the overall coverage is great for less than 1000 pages. It is easy to find a concept and to navigate between the well divided chapters.

Unfortunatly, practical problems are left aside in this book. End-of-chapter problems are to basic for real-life engineering and are only useful to understand basic theory and to practice essential engineering maths. As many other books, complete solutions of problems are very hard to obtain via the Web.

I would recommend using it as a reference to get a second way to explain essential ideas concerning circuits. The first and second chapter are great because they cover basic circuit analysis in a nice way and a lot of examples are used along the book. But when you dive in semiconductors and op-amp, it is getting too heavy. Overall, nice diagrams and example for theory most of the time well explained, but forget about complex and useful circuits.



starsHorrible
It is a book horrible to start outside with. If you are new with the concepts in the book you will not learn much. If you are already quite informed in the matters cover it could be a decent reference, but to learn anything from...? Useless.


starsNot useful
Weak point
1. Lack of examples
2. No detail solutions
3. few solution to chapter exercise

Good point
1. Used blue, white and black instead of only black and white in color in book content.
2. Hard cover, it's not easy to destroy the book cover
3. thin in size. It used about 800 pages to cover Electronics, Digital system, electonmechanics and Circuit Theory.

So great......


starsReview of Hambley's Electrical Engineering
I am an engineering student at Georgia Tech and have used various texts covering topics from orginismal biology to quantum physics. Hambley's Electrical Engineering book is lacking in some of the most fundamental elements that are required for a successful text in any engineering field. There are very few solutions to problems and the solution that are provided are incomplete, providing mostly the final answer as opposed to a complete logic pattern to achieve the answer. The in chapter exercises demonstrate only the most meager applications of the sometimes tedious analysis steps or theorems. Finally, the clarity of author's intent is often hazed by generality or over specificity. I cannot see how an electrical engineering major can use this text for anything other than a stabilizer for a wobbling table. Save yourself the money and purchase a Schaum's outline and a problem work book complete with solutions.


starsElectrical Engineering Principles & Applications
This book will obtain to you by all the concepts of electrical engineering which you must learn but do not want at tilted side: There is no response to any of these problems.


starsIt has potential
this book has much potential. As a student of university, I must say that this book really been able. The examples of in-text do not represent what is necessary to do the work. Moreover, there is no manner of checking answers to the problems of work because there is no solution in the back and a handbook of solutions is not available. The lack of solutions makes this book very difficult to employ.


starsReview of Hambley's Book
I am a student at WPI and I have been using this book since my first year in college. Every class that I have taken I have used this book and it has greatly impacted my learning here at school. I highly recommend this book to any student who is going to study Electrical Engineering.
