In addition to the well-known contributions of Maxwell, Hertz, and Marconi, it examines work done by Heaviside, Tesla, and passionate amateurs such as the Kentucky melon farmer Nathan Stubblefield and the unsung hero Antonio Meucci. Looking at the story from mathematical, physics, technical, and other perspectives, the clearly written text describes the development of wireless within a vivid scientific milieu.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Wireless\u003c\/i\u003e also goes into other key areas, including: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe work of J.
