Excerpt from Radio for the Beginner The usefulness of radio to the average person has not been realized; its present popularity is merely a start in the right direction. It is easily conceivable that the next decade will see every home with a radio telephone; not replacing the regular telephone, but supplementing it by permitting the owner to hear broadcast concerts, news, special bulletins and such information, even from other cities. It will be a particular boon to persons living in the country or in small towns. The radio telephone will do as much towards placing community life in close communication as telegraphy, both wire and radio, has done to place the nations, indeed the hemispheres of the world in close touch with each other. It is just another instance of harnessing electricity to do infinite service for mankind. The subject is a large one to treat in such a small book, but its main object is to lay a foundation on which the beginner in radio can build a more complete knowledge of the subject. I have attempted to present fundamental facts in a concise form, making them accurate and readable at the same time.

Excerpt from Radio for All IN writing the present volume the author has continually had in mind a book for the public at large, not acquainted as yet with the radio art. After having reviewed nearly all the recent books on radio that have appeared since radio took the public's fancy, the author believes that the present volume covers ground not touched upon by other writers. The keynote of the book has been simplicity in language, and simplicity in radio. This book, therefore, is not a technical volume, and wherever possible all technicalities, all mathematics, and all abstruse sub ects have been left out entirely. It will also be noted that the author has not made use of the word ether in this book; for the reason that modern scientists are no longer in sympathy with the ether theory. The vacuum tube, it will be noted, has been touched upon very lightly and only where it was absolutely necessary. The reason is that the vacuum tube is a highly tech nical sub ect, and therefore does not belong in this book. It is a science by itself.

Excerpt from Radio's Conquest of Space In this work the author makes no attempt to romanticize the history of radio. Rather, radio is treated as a great new utility created by men of genius who hearkened less to outside inspiration than to voices within themselves: men (and boys) of pioneering spirit who through enthusiasm and diligence studied and experimented, often with meager equipment, until desired results were attained. The work supplies a readable record of radio achievement having somewhat chronological treatment, which will enable radio workers to live over again days and nights of attachment to a labor that held their interest constant. The book, without mathematics, presents a narrative of experimental achievement which boys and young men will find stimulating, while at the same time they acquire a knowledge of how radio started and how it grew. The layman, also, by perusing this work may learn how radio operates, since the knowledge of its construction and working today is built up from its elementary beginning. And, because of the manner in which the various scientists, engineers, and experimenters are identified, the reader may recognize the many consecutive contributions as achievements of real people.

Excerpt from Radio Telephony for Amateurs Truly Of the making Of many books there is no end and in view Of the large number Of radio books already existant and advertised as in the process Of preparation or printing, perhaps some justification is necessary for the appearance Of another. My apologia is a simple one, and possibly one engendered by ideas and aspirations not un familiar to all other radio amateurs. Since connecting up my first receiving apparatus in 1908 I have longed for the appearance of a certain type Of radio book; a book issuing preferably from the pen Of an amateur, radiating the true amateur Spirit Of inquest and investigation, a book chock full Of practical information and suggestions for new things to do and instructions for going about it, in a word, a book which would at once ignite the spark Of my enthusiasm and furnish the material for its combustion. Such a book has never appeared, nor ever shall for the great majority Of us, for we have all our own ideas as to what the ideal radio book for amateurs Should be like. But intercourse extending over a number Of years with kindred spirits and frequent discussions with them on this subject has induced the belief that in the main our ideas converge in a common channel. This book represents my conception Of the direc tion and breadth Of this channel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
