Basic Electronics - I want to learn the "why", not just the "how"

Basic Electronics - I want to learn the "why", not just the "how"

I have been looking for a very basic book on electronics, but many of them explain what the components do (and how they are made) and then go into designing circuits that do stuff. They tell you to put the components in various parts of the circuit to make it do what it's supposed to do.
However, they don't tell you exactly why it does what it does. For example, a circuit with a transistor, a couple capacitors and resistors, and a transformer causes a speaker to warble. Logic tells me that there is an oscillation going on in the circuit, BUT I need to know why the components are placed where they are placed for the circuit to work.
Please direct me to a book that explains the 'why' very clearly.
Thanks!
