5.0 out of 5 stars VERY PRACTICAL, GET TO THE SUBJECT VERY FAST, Sep 9 2004

PIERRE LALIBERTE (Val Senneville, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (Hardcover)

I had the 5th edition in college and bought the 7th edition for work and it helped me a lot in Transistors circuits design. It is easy to read and it doesn't give you too much theory that is sometimes confusing. Lots of example and even how to interpret Datasheets.

A must have in you library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs a big internal facelift, Dec 22 2002

Gerard J. Sagliocca "gerard_socialcritic" (schenectady, ny United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (Hardcover)

The authors' Preface clearly states that "over the years, we have learned that improved readability can be attained through general appearance of the text."

Well what if I tell these authors that their publisher, Prentice Hall, still hasn't achieved their stated and important goal even after 8 editions of this textbook.

They begin by poorly printing all the text's equations in the text jacket cover using horizontal format which is very difficult to read and locate a given equation. They should take a good look at a competing textbook by Floyd.

Floyd does indeed achieve what these two authors intended goal: of making the appearance help the reader want to read the text but have yet to actually achieve it. Floyd also has more technical topics which Boylestad et al clearly have left out in their textbook.

Boylestad is finally being dropped at my college after being criticized for some of the things I just mentioned above. Floyd is now being used.

Students like Floyd's easy format and other easy to follow features.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic and Error Prone..., Jun 28 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (Hardcover)

This book has to be the worst book on electronics ever. I had to use this book for my second course in electronics and it was just too simplistic and not in-depth enough. The examples are very simplistic and the worst part of the book is the problems. The problems are basically identical in difficulty to the examples with the "numbers" changed around. One can not even read the book and solve all the problems by simply flipping back to the examples and copying them. And I haven't even mentioned the ton of errors in the book. Every other formula is wrong and the notion is very poor and ambigous. If you are getting this book to help you in a course, good luck... You better hope your prof. gives excellent lectures and take good notes.
