This book is based upon the principle that an understanding of devices and circuits is most easily achieved by learning how to design circuits. The text is intended to provide clear explanations of the operation of all important electronics devices generally available today, and to show how each device is used in appropriate circuits. Circuit design and analysis methods are also treated, using currently available devices and standard value components. All circuits can be laboratory tested to check the authenticity of the design process. Coverage includes: Diodes, BJTs, FETs, Small-Signal Amplifiers, NFB Amplifiers, Power amplifiers, Op-Amps, Oscillators, Filters, Switching Regulators, and IC Audio amplifiers.
If you are searching for the one uncomplicated text on electronic devices and circuits, then Bell will help. The author knows that the reader knows nothing. So he assumes nothing. And presents everything in an accessible way. Reading this book will give any student a clear idea of the basic concepts, with which one can attack a tougher textbook. I found reading this book enjoyable.
Excellent Text!

As an instructor, I found it well-written and easy to read. The text provides a thorough coverage of electronic fundamentals at the Engineering Technology Level. For example, Mr. Bell explains circuit operation, analysis, and design concepts; furthermore, he provides excellent examples, figures, and practice problems that are directly related to the material. Unlike some textbooks at this level, the equations are very precise and accurate without unnecessary approximations that lead to erroneous answers. Enough said, you must read it for yourself. It is a fine piece of work. Having obtained it by interlibrary loan, I would like to obtain a deskcopy. I would recommend it to any of my EET or EE students.
