Abstract :
This book describes 15 short stories in the history and misadventure of radio and electromagnetics. The writing style is much more like a historical novel with an emphasis on keeping the history as accurate as possible. The author injects a lot of historical context, which keeps the book from being dry and gives the reader a broader knowledge base of the developments in electricity and magnetism. You will find out how important garlic was in the history of radio and why red insulated wire should not be used for your radio coils. You will also laugh a lot and maybe even gather a few stories to interest your students.
