Book: Secret Life of Circuits ( https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/electronics/ ) by @lcamtuf is *so* good. I'm about 1/3 through and I can already feel concepts I poorly learned years ago settling into stronger and more consistent relationships.
For me, it seems to sit somewhere between "how-to" oriented electronics texts and university textbooks' math-first approach. There is still some math, but mostly to help the explanations and usage examples. The extra level of details is helping me build a better model of how things actually work. (I *think* I finally understand the relationship between the three leads on a transistor !) Having tiny epiphanies every 10 pages or so. (wait... a diode is just a single NP semiconductor transition?!?!).
Highly recommended for self-taught electronics folks!
