<p>Looking for an intro book that's self explanatory that my son can read on his own.</p>

2

<p>Forgot to add that son will be HS senior in fall and has taken AP Physics B. Any good textbooks out there?</p>

3

<p>My circuits class last semester used The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill. I found it to be understandable and complete. It might be a little too advanced for someone who hasn't had much exposure to calculus to read on his own, however.</p>

<p>1.) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Engineering-Circuit-Analysis-7th/dp/0471407402%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Engineering-Circuit-Analysis-7th/dp/0471407402&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This text is a pretty good introduction. Easy to follow, intended for non-EE majors, but as a high school student, I think it's a good text to get the basics down. </p>

<p>2.) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Electric-Circuits-Charles-Alexander/dp/0073301159/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-5108472-8686818?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184456728&sr=1-2%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Electric-Circuits-Charles-Alexander/dp/0073301159/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-5108472-8686818?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184456728&sr=1-2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Good, goes into more topics and details than book 1, but pricey. I'd recommend the first book.</p>

<p>American Amateur Radio League (AARL)</p>

<p>Well written books that have gone thru many editions but the information is improved. Reasonable cost.
