Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Television to-Day and to-Morrow' is a seminal work that offers a fascinating glimpse into the dawn of the television age. Written by Sydney A. Moseley, a prominent journalist and broadcaster, and H.J. Barton Chapple, a distinguished engineer, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of television technology as it stood in 1930. The work explores the mechanical and electronic principles that allowed for the transmission of moving images, detailing the groundbreaking experiments and systems developed during this era.Throughout the text, the authors examine the practical challenges and future possibilities of broadcasting, reflecting the excitement and optimism surrounding this revolutionary medium. With a focus on the pioneering work of figures like John Logie Baird, the book bridges the gap between complex engineering and public interest. It serves as a vital historical record of the technical evolution of mass communication, discussing everything from scanning discs to the socio-economic potential of home viewing. For historians of science, media students, and technology enthusiasts, 'Television to-Day and to-Morrow' remains an essential document of a world on the brink of a new visual era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
