electricity

this is the most dense read i have ever attempted in my life. It adds a whole bunch of seemingly irrelevant information. The chapters are 75 DENSE pages long. The examples would help except the places where many get lost are not explained. The reader is left wondering "how the heck did they get that there?". I hate this book. But give it a try if you'd like.

This book is used in a 4th year electrical engineering class. I never used the book in my class, I used Budak's book Passive and Active network analysis and synthesis (0-88133-625-4). I found Budaks book to be very advanced yet informative and my final review is that it is excellent. Now wanting to explore this area from a different text book I picked up this book. My only real complaint is that the author insists on using strange matricies to represent the circuits. Now I am a fan of the mathematical approach to circuits but this is not your standard node or loop analysis matrix. This is a matrix of Branches and Loops with either 1,0 or -1 to represent the path. Even on simple circuits the matrix grows to be around 4x9 or higher. Try taking the inverse or adjoint of that by hand!!

I originally picked it up thinking that all the matricies were because it was solving complex circuits using node analysis. However this is not the case.

Anyway I was not very impressed by that and the book builds from their approach to include "cut sets" of the circuits and yada yada yada. All in all after 5 years of doing superposition, node and loop analysis I was not too open to learning this guys technique. Maybe other schools use this approach and then this would be the book for them. As for the rest of the book, it does not touch on Caur or Foster networks until page 490 (of a 600 page book). In Budak it hits then on page 92 (of a 700 page book). As the book progresses it has entire networks (2 port) represented by gigantic matrices (10 by 30 or so). It also has very little opamp circuit covered. Like most books on this topic, Laplace representation of a circuit is presumed, as well as the matrix manipulations. If you are thinking of picking up this book to quickly reference something you will be out of luck. Most topics are the authors approach which does not seem to be too standard.

If you are looking for a PSPICE book, keep looking. This is not what you want. There is very little on the syntax and structure of the commands in PSPICE. The book only contains limited PSPICE commands and mainly focuses on resistor networks with voltage or current sources. There are no transistors, op-amps, noise analysis, etc...

The only interesting part of this book is the table of contents.
Given its scope, the book is well too short to contain any non-trivial information.

This book is less than 1/2" thick. I gave it a low rating because of the cost. ...The information is very basic and the equations simple.

This book was first published in 1987, and updated in 1993. Much of the info included is badly out-of-date.

Aye carumba, Transformers in Mexico! I was curious as to why the Autobots and Decepticons would leave their wonderous home in North Western America to migrate to Mexico, but this book offered my no insight after pulling me in with that inticing title. Not even a picture of Galvatron in a sombrero.

I would advise people to steer well clear of this book. It is a total waste of money and better reading can be obtained on the internet for free (eg. the european thematic network on wave energy conversion pdf file.). I am currently doing a project on wave enrgy conversion and i thought this book would be helpful.
The book contains poor information on the economics of wave energy conversion and very poor pictures of devices. If you buy this book you will end up returning it.
