Hello anons, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to electronics and its applications. I want to make useful /diy/ electrical systems like surveillance or fix up my diesel generator or lay down the grounding or fix the electrical system of my car or even do the electricals in my new house. I should be able to all these stuff for which people call an electrician. To get there I need suitable books which are beginners friendly and slowly move my way up. So, what books you guys suggest?
