Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Television The present generation has seen the birth and growth of wireless telegraphy from a scientific novelty to a vast industry. From the first experiments of Hertz in 1888 to the present day covers a period of forty years, and during those forty years it can be said that the whole outlook of the man in the street towards science has undergone a fundamental change. We have at the present time a great public interested, and intelligently interested, in scientific subjects, and a new literature has sprung up catering for this body of people. This literature deals almost exclusively with the many branches of wireless and depends for its appeal upon the listener-in. If no other benefit has been conferred upon humanity by the development of radio communication, the introduction of this interest in science to a public which had hitherto been apathetic would in itself be no small benefit. The Shorter Catechism defines man's chief end as the glorification of God, the American Constitution more prosaically defines it as the pursuit of happiness, while in these days we might prefer to describe it as the pursuit of truth. Where better can we seek for truth than in scientific research? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
