There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings

Perhaps the clearest introduction to the concepts and vocabulary of electricity ever written. Certainly the goofiest. Explains concepts like capacitance, voltage and inductance in such a simple, memorable way you'll learn them in spite of yourself. You'll certainly smile while doing so and may laugh out loud. In print since 1990, this book has become a cult classic. With its oddball, smart aleck humor, it is often credited with inspiring all the books for dummies and idiots. Blurbs by Dave Barry, Clive Cussler, Ray Bradbury, George Garrett and many more.
