There was a great deal of important technological experimentation and invention before the widespread adoption of radio communication characterizing the 1920s. With highly technical detail, supplemented by footnotes and a 50-page bibliography, Blake chronologically arranges descriptions, patents, documentary extracts and illustrations, thereby making the History of Radio Telegraphy and Telephony an extraordinary reference. The author has included complete coverage of early wireless schemes and developments, carrying his study through the period of rapid radio service expansion during the 1920s. Although technically detailed and comprehensive, his book conveys all of the excitement and wonder of early radio experimentation.

Beauchamp (1923-99, retired from the U. of Lancaster, UK) devotes the first half of the book to terrestrial telegraphy, from the beginnings of communication with mechanical signaling to the electrical system using Morse code, including a large chapter on the laying of submarine cables across the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. The second half, on aerial telegraphy, discusses its beginnings with Marconi and its use on board ships and aircraft in both world wars. Dozens of maps show routes of telegraph cable and figures depict old telegraph equipment. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
