Review title: Clearly explained in laymans' misconceptions!
Product review: Yes, this book is indeed easy to read. However, its use of false concepts makes it an untrustworthy source. The author claims to have a degree of some sort in physics and a Phd in something. Why then does she think that an emf is a force? Any freshman physics student should know it isn't. And that bit about wriggling electrons pushing each other down a conductor-oh, brother! That is the kind of garbage I would expect in a book from Delmar Publishing, not from Wiley or IEEE press! In the preface, she mentioned receiving a manual from workers in a control room. I suspect she studied that book and forgot her physics. I have a Masters in physics, I belong to the IEEE, and I work for a major electric utility. I've seen the kind of books they use-chock full of out of date concepts and fairy tales. Come on IEEE, how did you let this book slip out?
