Personal Review: Electrical Engineering: Know It All (Newnes
Know It All) by Alan Bensky
I have to say I'm not crazy about the title, it is too general and promises
more then it should. However I was very impressed with the explanations
given for the various topics covered. My weakest point in my engineering
curriculum were laplace transforms so I went straight to Transients and
Laplace Transforms to see if it could help me understand a little better (and
eight years out of school). To my surprise I was able to understand exactly
what was going on and the equations were perfectly laid out to see how
everything fit together, not bad for being out of school for so long.
I continued looking through the book and wondered why in the world they
would have a section on Circuit Simulation with so many different software
programs available. Yet after reviewing the section, it was actually very
informative and talked specifically about the type of tests that were
performed like DC analysis and AC small signal analysis as well as pole
zero analysis and noise analysis regards to the types of tests and analysis
that go on in software like Tina Pro, MultiSim or SPICE.
In reviewing the Filter Design chapter, lets face it Signals and Systems
wasn't my strong point, once again the explanations were easy to follow
and yet enough so that I could continue with a more complex book in
needed.
I would suggest this book to any college student who wants to get a better
explanation on the topic that they are currently studying. This would be a
great primer for Electronics, Analog and Signals and Systems. For any
electrical engineer out of school that needs a quick review on a topic not
seen for a while, this book would be an excellent reference.

But as mentioned in another review, be careful with the figures as section
17.3.3 mentions a low pass filter and references figure 17.7 which are high
pass filter graphs. If you can pick out the problems then you are in the
right field of work.
