First-rate book. It briefly explains the hobby opportunities before getting into the training. After the training material, there is an excellent glossary, the complete exam question pool (with correct answers indicated), as well as a supplementary chapter on choosing a ham radio.FWIW, I used this book for self-training and got 100% correct on the exam November 8, 2014. No previous amateur radio experience and never took a ham class.The training material is geared toward the beginner without being condescending. All topics are explained simply and completely. Excellent graphics -- lots of tables, charts, photographs, and line drawings. For that reason, I'd recommend buying the paperback instead of the Kindle version. As much as I love my e-Ink Kindle, this is the sort of book that is better in paper and in a large format. If you want the Kindle version, use a Kindle app on a large computer screen, not a phone or small tablet.Table of Contents for the course material -- Radio and Signals Fundamentals; Electricity, Components, and Circuits; Propagation, Antennas, and Feed Lines; Amateur Radio Equipment; Communicating With Other Hams; Licensing Regulations; Operating Regulations; and Safety.There are only 35 questions on the Technician test and Morse code is not required. Anyone who mastered the material in this book could pass the test without any difficulty. There is minimal math in the test and this book will teach you all you need.After each piece of training, the text refers the reader to the relevant questions in the question pool at the back of the book. It encourages you to master each little "bite-sized" piece before moving on, which helps to build your confidence in your ability to master the material.
