DESCRIPTION:
Important new insights into how various components and systems evolvedPremised on the idea that one cannot know a science without knowing its history, History of Wireless offers a lively new treatment that introduces previously unacknowledged pioneers and developments, setting a new standard for understanding the evolution of this important technology.Starting with the background-magnetism, electricity, light, and Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory-this book offers new insights into the initial theory and experimental exploration of wireless. Bose and J. FlemingGerman, Japanese, and Soviet contributions to physics and applications of electromagnetic oscillations and wavesWireless telegraphic and telephonic development and attempts to achieve transatlantic wireless communicationsWireless telegraphy in South Africa in the early twentieth centuryAntenna development in Japan: past and presentSoviet quasi-optics at near-mm and sub-mm wavelengthsThe evolution of electromagnetic waveguidesThe history of phased array antennasAugmenting the typical, Marconi-centered approach, History of Wireless fills in the conventionally accepted story with attention to more specific, less-known discoveries and individuals, and challenges traditional assumptions about the origins and growth of wireless. A. In addition to the well-known contributions of Maxwell, Hertz, and Marconi
"This insightful, well written volume will appeal to a broad scientific audience and is sure to become a classic in its field." (Instrumentation and Technology, November/December 2006) "Well-illustrated with numerous chapter referencesrecommended." (CHOICE, July 2006)"this book succeeds in challenging traditional assumptions about the origins and growth of wireless while painting an impressive and character-filled history of the technology."

History of Wireless This is an excellent book, written by experts in their respective areas who have researched well. This is a definitive reference. It includes important but often less well known experimenters of the time, not just the well-known contributers. A must have for anyone interested in the factual history of wireless.. William Sommerwerck said loaded with errors; think carefully before purchase. This book shows what is so very wrong with the technical-book industry.It has not been edited.Wiley-Interscience seems to think it has no obligation to pay someone to carefully read the manuscripts they receive, in order to locate factual and technical errors, and correct them."History of Wireless" includes many errors, including the classic "Sony invented the transistor radio" one. It also grovels at the feet of James Clerk Maxwell, which is out of place in a book of this sort.I was . Five Stars great!
