The Wall Street Journal has given a highly positive review of a new book that examines the wonders of radio — and the importance on a global level of a technology that is more than 110 years old.
Published Friday by WSJ, reporter Steven Poole takes a deep look at a 375-page Princeton University Press hard-cover titled “The Mathematical Radio: Inside The Magic of AM, FM and Single-Sideband,” by Paul J. Nahin. As Poole sees it, radio broadcast technology, “which underpins vast swaths of communication via Wi-Fi and cellphone towers, is still a fundamental cornerstone of civilization.”
