Hmm. I learned about E&M theory from Halliday and Resnick, and the practical stuff from Horowitz and Winfield (The Art of Electronics) and they were pretty precise about distinctions between electrons, holes, charge, flow of charge, and so forth. Sounds like I dodged a bullet by not being drawn too much to electronics as a youth, waiting instead to learn about it as a college physics major.



Ah, memories of those books too. My Dad was an EE and so I also have memories of him, on parent-teacher evenings at school, arguing with the physics teacher about whatever was on the blackboard from the day's lesson..
