Preview John Logie Baird

Description:
This is a biography of one of the 20th Century's outstanding inventors, published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Baird's first public demonstration of a rudimentary television system. The book is based on primary source documents although many personal recollections are included to add colour. Much material regarding Baird's business in the early 1920s has only recently become available and is covered here for the first time. Although Baird is credited in the UK as the inventor of television, the book considers many interesting areas such as comparing Baird's technical strategy with the work undertaken in industrial laboratories, how his policy compared with the development of wireless by Marconi, and the impact of his business partnerships.Also available:Television: an international history of the formative years - ISBN 9780852969144 The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Volume 1: 1811-1831 - ISBN 9780863412486The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
