Pinkerton's Radio is wonderful: deeply researched, richly kaleidoscopic, beautifully written. Although Pinkerton has big themes to explore - radio's technical origins, its sometimes contradictory cultural impacts, its extraordinary role in building communities, nations, and empires - he embraces all this without ever losing sight of the deeply human nature of his subject: the people who have made radio what it is, and the complex ways in which the global presence of this extraordinary medium shapes our daily lived experience. The result is both immensely fascinating and vitally important. * David Hendy, Professor of Media and Cultural History, University of Sussex and author of Noise: A Human History of Sound and Listening *More details
