Book Recommendations

If I go to my local branch libraries, they probably have about five
books on electronics at each one. Usually a donated copy of the ARRL
Handbook and a ten year old book on VCR repair. And if you're lucky,
The Art of Electronics and/or one of those big handbooks, like Reference
Data for Radio Engineers, in the Reference section. (Down from thirty
or forty books each when I was a kid, when they had all sorts of build
your own ham gear, TV repair books, and even a PDP-8 system manual).

But, hey, all the self help books you can eat, and even Object Oriented
Programming in Perl.

You have books on Perl at your library?, Wow! Normally it's Java, VB,
or some other crap Microsoft makes, like windows.

BSD Unix all the way!

Do not discount the math and therory so readily...... it is very
important for a solid base of understanding and knowledge.
I am quite glad that my doctor or dentist did not skip over some of the
fundamental therories and basics of their profession.
Again, instead of wasting your time (and our time) rejecting the
suggestions of others here, you should just GO TO YOUR LIBRARY and
actually personally inspect various books to determine if they meet
your "practicality" standard. If so, then check them out, if not,
then don't.

Why just 3 books?... go to your local public library and look over a
wide selection of books on the subject. "Electronics" is such a broad
subject that there will be numerous subcatagories to chose from. Find
books that fit your area of interest and check them out.... there will
be many more than three books. As your experience and knowledge level
increases you will then be checking out more in-depth and specific
books.

Not every country has good or many public libraries and any books
there are, of course, in local languages. However much of the
technical material that universities in these countries use, are
in fact, invariably English lanuage textbooks. So, students do
research in book stores, some of which are quite understanding
about that. A few good recommendations are thus useful since
international textbook purchase is generally free of restriction.
