Life's Misfortune
Sad as it is, I was blocked from reading DHR's link because of the attitude taken by Facebook, which refused me entrance because I would not submit.
You, see, I am a Facebook Non-Co-Operative.
It keeps me out. I keep it out.
The term "Facebook" is built on law enforcement jargon.... "Book him" means "Get his Face (mug shot).
In short, "Face Book".
Am I free to go?

Power concentrated
I don't agree with 'Face Book' either, it's not the free and open net, though if led there I read what I can.
FB has had its own scandals lately, based on the large amount of personal data the site has gathered from users willingly and by its own calculations.

Good Job!
Very nice, DHR, that adjustment allows me to see the book of interest, a very good book, one we all need for our complete library of radio electronics.
My un-asked opinion is that the book should be updated with a title revision: "The Young Person's First Book of Radio and Electronics", to include all the genders.
Keep doing your good work.

That's a real good looking book. Wonder if any are available to be had? Now I know where the term hertz came from. Interesting how these scientists of the day discovered all these things through experiment that we just take for granted today. All the wireless stuff now is credited to those scientists in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

These are the kind of science books I read as a school student: radio, electricity, mechanics and stories of our great inventors, books just like this. This one is especially written to be inspiring, I feel like the author must have been moved by these same stories and is passing them on.
With these beginnings, it's a shame our great waves have been taken over by commercial interests when once it was all amateur and unstructured.
