This work presents 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. "History of Wireless" also goes into other
key areas, including: The work of J. C. Bose and J. A. Fleming;
German, Japanese, and Soviet contributions to physics and
applications of electromagnetic oscillations and waves; Wireless
telegraphic and telephonic development and attempts to achieve
transatlantic wireless communications; Wireless telegraphy in South
Africa in the early twentieth century; Antenna development in
Japan: past and present; Soviet quasi-optics at near-mm and sub-mm
wavelengths; The evolution of electromagnetic waveguides; and, The
history of phased array antennas. Augmenting 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. This allows
for a more comprehensive understanding of how various components
and systems evolved. Written in a clear tone with a broad
scientific audience in mind, this exciting and thorough treatment
is sure to become a classic in the field.
