Serial fiction about wireless and radio was the most popular young
adult literature at the turn of the 20th century and a form of
early social media. Before television and the Internet, book about
plucky youths braving danger and adventure with the help of
wireless communication brought young people together. They gathered
in basements to build crystal sets and listen to early broadcasts.
They built transmitters and talked to each other across
neighborhoods, cities and states. By 1920, there was music on the
airwaves and boys and girls tuned in on homemade radios, inspired
by their favorite stories. This book covers more than 50 volumes of
wireless and radio themed fiction, offering a unique perspective on
the world presented to young readers of the day. The values,
attitudes, culture and technology of a century ago are discussed,
along with issues still debated today, including immigration, gun
violence, race, bullying and economic inequality.
The life-long inventor, Lee de Forest invented the three-element
vacuum tube used between 1906 and 1916 as a detector, amplifier,
and oscillator of radio waves. Beginning in 1918 he began to
develop a light valve, a device for writing and reading sound using
light patterns. While he received many patents for his process, he
was initially ignored by the film industry. In order to promote and
demonstrate his process he made several hundred sound short films,
he rented space for their showing; he sold the tickets and did the
publicity to gain audiences for his invention. Lee de Forest
officially brought sound to film in 1919. "Lee De Forest: King of
Radio, Television, and Film" is about both invention and early film
making; de Forest as the scientist and producer, director, and
writer of the content. This book tells the story of de Forest's
contribution in changing the history of film through the
incorporation of sound. The text includes primary source historical
material, U.S. patents and richly-illustrated photos of Lee de
Forest's experiments. Readers will greatly benefit from an
understanding of the transition from silent to audio motion
pictures, the impact this had on the scientific community and the
popular culture, as well as the economics of the entertainment
industry.

We're raising a generation of wussies. Actually, this problem has
already taken root and there are current generations of wussies
actively integrating into society as you read this. It's hard to
say just how long this decline in society has been taking place,
but be advised, it is ongoing. Right now, somewhere in America,
someone is getting an 8th Place ribbon. 8th Place Ribbon takes a
look at watered down rules, participation awards, lack of
participation as well many non-sports related factors that all
contribute to the creation of an entitled generation. A collection
of the author's personal experiences mixed with outside testimonies
and a dash of humor, the book strives to not only raise awareness
to potential long-lasting problems our society's current mindset on
youth sports presents, but also some corrective actions that can be
taken by all involved to avoid them.
This book is a "politically incorrect" masterpiece depicting the
ills of the SAD (Standard American Diet), the corporate atrocities

supported by the mainstream media and the medical profession. This

mentioned above, it will show you how to live longer and feel
energized by the foods you eat. While it may encourage you to start
growing some of your own food, you will begin to pay more attention
to your food's origin. This book will shatter the disinformation
thrust upon us, and will lay out powerful, fundamental truths that
can revolutionize any individual, any family, any community or even
any nation that chooses to adopt them. Not only should you read
this book, you should LIVE by this book.
