The ARRL handbook is a good book but covers a limited number of topics. An even better book is called "Practical Electronics For Inventors". It will walk you from the very basics all they way up to more advanced electronics. It also keeps the math to a minimum. If there is anything you don't understand. chances are you can skip it and learn it later. I have read MANY electronics books and this is by far the best i have come across.
