Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In Telegraph, Telephone and Wireless, Bert Lundy examines the origins and early developments of these three communication systems. The work is comprehensive and could replace with one volume a small shelf of communication titles. It should be a first choice for libraries and individuals wanting one book to explain the history of early wired and wireless networks. The book looks at the technology of each system in a simple way without bogging down in technical details. Those that wish to go further can pursue the well done bibliography. But technology is not the only focus here, far from it. The book's 540 pages puts most accomplishments into their necessary context. That includes, where necessary, an inventor's background, regulatory concerns, government policies, financial impacts, and legal issues. Patent law is much discussed. The book reads well and moves quickly. A thoughtful analysis and opinion chapter concludes the work. Lundy should be congratulated for penning such a complete and engaging book.
