So, I know exceedingly little about home wiring. I have a physics degree, so I understand things in a useless, vague way, but I know very little about the specifics of home electrical despite formerly owning a house for 3 years.

I just moved into a rental unit in a pre-1900s building, and while trying to communicate issues with my landlord, I realized how shoddy my knowledge here is. Is there a book or resource not "DIY Wire your own home!" and more "Here's Enough to be a Better Tenant and Client to Electricians"?

Stop trying to solution things you don't understand and explain what problem you have and the outcome you would like.

I don't want to DIY the stuff. I want to be able to understand things well enough to be able to communicate better.
