"The Complete Idiot's Guide To Electronics 101" is a comprehensive guide to basic electronics. The book covers both the theory and the practical side of electronics. Eventually, it covers Ohm's Law, why we use RMS for voltage measurements, and how various ideas got their names.
Because it covers the practical side of electronics, you will find many safety precautions in the book. I appreciate these warnings since I would rather not die or be injured. Electricity is dangerous, but if you respect it properly, it makes a great tool.
The hobbyist is the intended audience, I think, but it does work well as an introduction. The final project is building a robot.

Decent intro to electronics. Some parts were pretty elementary, others were dastardly difficult to understand. Might have been better to take an actual course in this. It does have several seemingly interesting projects that I hope to do soon, including a robot. A robot!

This book is veeeeeeeeeeeeeery simple. Probably the first book to read if you want to break into hobby electronics. It is a good review of basic principles and nomenclature.

OK as used--read for outline of basic electronics and micro-controller programming, appreciated clarity and brevity.
