Customer Reviews:
bad binding! January 7, 2009 Melissa B. Chen (Arlington, VA United States) This book was assigned for a linear electronics class. I wish the practice examples peppered through each chapter included more that were fully worked out. In addition the phrasing of the exercises as well as the end of chapter exercises were unclear. Aword of caution to used book buyers: The book I purchased came in "new" condition - but after two weeks of regular use the binding cracked and I now have sections of text that are no longer attached. I don't know if this problem has been resolved in later printings - but if ever there was a case for buying the paperback international edition - this would be it. What a horrible publishing job.
The author really could do better. October 30, 2008 J. Sallay (Logan, UT) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This textbook tries to cover it all. It is the largest, heaviest textbook I've ever held. That would be just fine if it were any good. There are more typos than one one would expect from a fifth edition. Sometimes the constants are listed incorrectly (such as epsilon_0). The worst part of the book though is the questions. I've counted 30 questions in one problem. The questions are rarely if ever stated clearly. Oftentimes it is very difficult to figure what the author is asking. There are several questions in each chapter that are covered only a short sentence or two that does not relay the information necessary to complete the problem. Finally information necessary to complete the problems is not always given. If you have to use this textbook for a class I'm sorry. If you are a professor who uses this textbook - you can do much better.
