Review: Nice book for a crash course for the weekend handyman looking to understand electricity - This is a great book for those looking to develop an intuition around electricity and related practical applications. I come from an Ivy league background, computer science with some light EE classes. I've been tinkering in the house with electrical work, and realizing I lacked the grounding I want for understanding how things work together. I initially looked at the online courses from MIT and others. Several thousand greek letters and formulas later, I was feeling refreshed on my calculus and algebra, but no better at figuring out what the white wire does in my light switch :) I also looked at some electrician practitioner courses online, but they all seemed to start with things like "this is how you use a linesman plier", something I'm comfortable with, and way too slow for the crash course I'm interested in. This book was a nice happy medium...I also purchased a codebook explanation alongside this, that I've yet to crack the spine on.
Review: Basic Electricity, Schaum's Outlines - This will most likely be THE best money you'll ever spend for a high quality refresher on basic electricity. The author, Milton Gussow, does an absolutely outstanding job covering the fundamentals with enough detail and clarity to make this a definite "go to" reference manual for the electrician, the technician, or the field engineer. Rather than listing the topics, I strongly suggest all potential buyers utilize the "Search inside this book" application. Reading through the Table of Contents will give you a good feel for the subject matter and how it is laid out. A cursory read of the those portions of text that are provided in the search application will give you a good understanding as to how the author clearly and concisely presents each subject. And, reading through the Index gives ample reference to those topics you most likely would want to look up on the spur of the moment. I highly recommend this is book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goes a little beyond basic
*by C***W on January 5, 2022*

I was looking for a basic book for my grandson. This book goes beyond basic That is good in one way and bad in another for someone who wants to learn basics for DIY. He likes the quizes at the end of each chapter.
