The fourth edition of "Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering provides comprehensive coverage of the principles of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical engineering to non-electrical engineering majors. Building on the success of previous editions, this text focuses on relevant and practical applications that will appeal to all engineering students.
Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering is a textbook published in 1996. I have the second edition. Giorgio Rizzoni's intent was a book that plugged in the basics of electronics and electrical devices, and I would say he did an outstanding job.
Rizzoni covers the basics and goes on to the more advanced subjects with ease. He eventually gets into differential equations and calculus, so be prepared for that. In that sense, I would say that the book is not meant for the layperson, but I don't know how advanced something has to be before it isn't accessible to a wide audience.
Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.
