Review title: Neither an advanced nor introductory text.
Product review: (Disclaimer: an EE professor at the school I attended wrote the book.)I found this book horrible. It neither provides useful intuition nor rigorous analysis. The book is written as if it were an introductory text but it fails to cover a lot of fundamental topics (especially basic transistor circuits) that are critical for such a book. Additionally, the book spends a lot of text making useless analogies (like LRC oscillator to a pipe instrument.)The overall approach of the book is to take a very detailed theoretical and practical explanation of a specific (NORCAL 50?, I think) radio. The approach makes it very difficult to apply its lessons to designing your own radio or high frequency electric circuits.
