"Jenkins has assembled a world-class collection and he uses it to tell the fascinating story of electricity and early radio. Along the way he is able-with enviable ease-to weave in stories about both the cultural transformations that radio made possible, and the science of electricity itself. A thoroughly worthwhile book." -Steven Turner, curator, Smithsonian Institution, "A fascinating history of electricity and radio as seen through the comprehensive collection in the American Museum of Radio and Electricity. From Leyden jars to vacuum tubes and from telegraph to the golden age of radio, the book is an invaluable reference for the historian and collector." -John V.
