Electrical made simple

This book is worth buying for the description of how electricity works alone. most of the other items in this book are pretty standard across the board, but the way the book is laid out and more of a teaching manner is much better than most of the electrical books out there.

I would highly suggest this book for apprentices, aspiring electricians, and pretty much anybody who is in any type of industry that wants to become better. there are many items in this book that would spill over into other trades like professionalism, cleanliness and work ethic.

nec code references are pretty handy at the end of the book as well.

Read or listen if you’re a 1st year apprentice or idot

Common sense and waste of my time. It’s an extended employee handbook. I do hear Florida has some pretty pathetic electricians. I suppose they need all the help they can get.
