finally, a clear discussion of how electricity and radios work

This book assumes you know nothing about electricity and takes you up through complex ideas. It really is excellent. The focus is obviously radio, but you'll learn a good deal about how certain concepts in electronics work. The book is obviously outdated in some respects, but still worthwhile. Basically this book will take you from having no knowledge about electronics to building several kinds of radios.

Best and most complete book of radio I have ever read

This is the best and most complete textbook on radio I have ever read, the textbook is written simple and complete enough for anyone to get a strong grip on radio and vacuum tube electronics, the textbook follows radio development from simple crystal receivers to regenerative, to TRF and on to superheterodyne receivers, you will learn about battery eliminating, volume control, tone control, audio amplifiers.. you will follow radio history, through all the developments unlike most which just show you brief begining and end result, buy and read this book and you will know how a radio works and will be able to build a radio.. note you will be tempted to build more than one.. after reading a chapter you will want to build the radio from that chaptor... but after the next chapter you will find out the last had a disadvantage and find a better radio to build.. and like our great inventors build a better radio.. and it goes on.. this book is complete

Ground up education on Radio electronics

Previous release 'Third Edition' was a well written text instructing a novice in electronics on the development of Radio w/tube theory. Highly applicable to understanding transistor theory.
