There is the Penguin Dictionary of Electronics, edited by Valerie
Illingworth, (ISBN 0-14-051402-3) which I think is pretty good with one
caveat:
I think electronics is one of those highly technical fields (like aviation
or telecomm or genetics) where it's hard to have any idea what's going on,
or to follow any definitions, without some prior training. I'm studying
electronics right now as a way to bolster my tech writing, and there's all
kinds of things that I'm learning on a week-by-week basis, with careful
study, that I could never have grasped by reading the quick dictionary
definition.
Still, the Penguin Dictionary is out there, and you can give it a try.
