I am looking to learn more about electronics and what not. I have
looked at a few books and purchased one. However, I didn't like it
that much.

I got Electronic Projects for Dummies. The book started off like I was
going to understand it, then I got to chapter 5 and it asked me to buy
a bunch of components to put together this project. Some of the items
on the list I couldn't find even in the online stores that they
suggested in the book. The project was a little above me anyway.

What I am looking for is a book that will explain a concept to me,
like capacitors. Then give a few circuits that demonstrate what they
just explained to me. Is there anything like that? Or, do you
generally have to read through a book that is all explanation then get
another book that has circuits you can play with?

The NEETS modules start from the basics and work up. They're probably
not all relevant (you may not need info on radars right away) and
somewhat dated but good info.

http://www.hnsa.org/index.htm has copies of these and other manuals;
drill down from the "Documents" link.


Cool website, thanks ;)
