By A Customer
This review is from: The Portable Radio in American Life (Culture and Technology) (Paperback)
Elegant and well-written, this is one of the few books to take a realistic look at American popular cultural technology. Historians and archaeologists coupld learn a lot from this case study.

This review is from: The Portable Radio in American Life (Culture and Technology) (Paperback)
IF you want to know anything and/or everything there is to know about the evaluation of Portable Radios here in the US, this is the book to have. He starts out in the 20's with information about "portables", radios with heavy batteries strapped to Bicycles and buggies, to the present with Shirt pocket and smaller radios. Lots of Photos of Popular 40's & 50's models. A great book for a person who Collects old Radios.
