Important new insights into how various components and systems evolved
Premised 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. In addition to the well-
known contributions of Maxwell, Hertz, and Marconi, it examines work done
by Heaviside, Tesla, and passionate amateurs such as the Kentucky melon
farmer Nathan Stubblefield and the unsung hero Antonio Meucci. Looking at
the story from mathematical, physics, technical, and other perspectives,
the clearly written text describes the development of wireless within
a vivid scientific milieu.
