Summary

Electrics in Plain English isn't a dry textbook, it's the book I wish I'd had when I started. Written by a fellow learner, it explains the fundamentals of electricity in a down-to-earth, no-jargon way. Packed with sketches, real-world analogies, lightbulb moments, and quick quizzes, it's designed to make tricky concepts click. Whether you're starting your sparky journey or brushing up the basics, this book will build your confidence, with a few laughs along the way.

About the Author

Neil Bird isn't a career academic or a lifelong spark — he's a learner, just like you. After years in media and design, he swapped screens for screwdrivers and began his journey into electrics. This book grew out of his own "lightbulb moments," turning tricky concepts into plain English with sketches, stories, and a dash of humour.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I've started to study electrics and mostly all the books i have read or tried to use tell the theory as if i have a degree in advanced electrics. This book was easy to listen to on my way to work and in my free time and explained the theory in a way that was so understandable to someone who has a very basic understanding of electrics. I would recommend this book as a good starting point for anyone who wants to start the learning journey in an electrical career....
