[EAN: 9780899502847], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: McFarland & Company], 0899502849 Dust jacket condition: No Jacket (as issued). Solid retired library book with usual library treatments; else VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Overall, a very nice clean copy. It would be difficult to cite any technological innovation whose impact on the fabric of daily living has been as pervasive as that of television. Within a few decades after its invention, television was providing, literally, a window to the world. A sole inventor of television does not exist. Instead, it came about through a remarkable interaction of several hundred scientists. Interviews with the scientists whose imagination and enterprise combined to make television a reality, extensive archival research worldwide, and rare photos make this book the one definitive history and the only authoritative account. Early inventions, the first devices, early camera tubes, the mechanical era, the kinescope, the iconoscope, and more. Extensive references. 354 pages. Television--History<
