This book describes the stage-by-stage creation and development,
from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, of the
remarkable global communications technologies that have profoundly
transformed the way that people live and work. Written in a highly
readable style, this book provides a fascinating account of the key
innovators from Faraday, Maxwell and Hertz to the inventors of the
transistor, microchip, optical fibre systems and the World Wide
Web. The book explores the background and motivation of these
pioneers and the social and economic environment in which they
worked. The significance of each innovative step is shown in terms
of the impact - in scale and relevance - on today's communications
world. John Bray also looks to the future for innovations yet to
come. This book will be interest to all those interested in the
human thread running through the history of technological advances
in telecommunications and broadcasting.
