Books recommendation

Hi guys.
I am trying to build AM radio receiver, but I don't want to just follow some ones circuit.
Guys, please can you recommend books for me which are going to help me with understanding of how radio circuits are working.
I understand some general concepts,but it's not enough for me to understand circuits.
I need something what is going to give really deep explanation of every component in the circuit.


Thanks every one.

For books, I recommend The Art of Electronics 2nd edition.

As far as simple AM radios are concerned, start with a crystal radio which is really simple to build and plenty of good tutorials can be found all over the Internet, then add a simple audio amplifier to drive a small speaker.

Crystal radio is too simple,I do understand basics,but I need more advanced understanding on what is going on inside the circuit.
Thanks anyways.

What don't you understand?

Have you mastered the crystal radio and want to move on to the superhetrodyne radio?

The best way to learn is to buy a kit. It will cost more than a ready made radio but the best way to see it as an educational experiance.
