At first I did not take this book seriously. The author uses waaay too many puns and spends too much time developing analogies for simple concepts that are clear enough already. But after a while, I learned to ignore this stuff and found there is really quote a lot of meat here.
The book starts with very basic particle physics, optics and refraction with a focus for how these topics control and modify passing EM waves. It then applies these to the rarified plasma that makes up the ionosphere. Also covered is the effects of ground on propagation and goes into how this all relates to antenna performance. Finally, I think the last few chapters are the best, where the book discusses questions that are still open and potential areas of further research.
So if you don't get distracted, this book has lots of good info and ideas for experimentation.
