Here is the exciting story of our modern electronic age...the adventure of a brand new science that in just fifty years has revolutionized our world and promises to change it even more in the years ahead. In clear, simple words the author shows what electricity is, and how vacuum tubes, microphones, loud speakers, antennas, and other basic devices work. Then he goes on to explain the hundreds of electronic wonders that make our lives easier and more pleasant. From color television to tape recorders, radio telescopes to electronic computers, this book shows how each device works and how it is used. .11  (#000085)
