``A unique history book which traces Amateur Radio back to its
original source 2,500 years ago. It describes the intervening steps
which led to the mass generation and distribution of mains electricity,
and claims that the true father of our hobby was James Clewrk Maxwell,
who formulated mathematically the existence of electromagnetic waves
about 150 yeasr ago.

The book also contains reminiscences and anecdotes of the early days
and is profusely illustrated with diagrams and original photographs
taken by the author a long time ago.''
