Description

Wireless Radio: A History by Lewis Coe explores the development and impact of wireless communication technology. The story begins with James Clerk Maxwell's 1873 concept of electromagnetic waves, followed by Heinrich Hertz's laboratory demonstration of their existence in 1887. Guglielmo Marconi's subsequent invention of a practical wireless communications system is also examined. The history of wireless radio then delves into its various applications, including marine radio, cellular telephones, police and military uses, television, and radar. Additionally, the book touches on radio collecting and provides brief biographies for key figures in the development and use of wireless technology. This comprehensive account offers insight into the evolution of a revolutionary system that has shaped modern communication.
