Abstract
A POPULAR description of radio communication which will be helpful to amateurs is given in this book. The author uses the proper technical terms, so any one who has read this book will be in a position to benefit by more advanced treatises on the subject. In the glossary, however, the attempt to define highly technical terms in the simplest language is of doubtful utility. Capacity is defined as “any object that will retain a charge of electricity.” The book concludes with a long list of radio “don'ts,” which will prove instructive to the beginner.
