Karl Laurin
2008
These three short short stories adroitly capture the ambiance of a small mining enclave high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the early 1920’s, and the effect on the camp of Cookie’s one-tube radio. In a pinch, the radio is modified into a transmitter when “Romance calls”.
From a review of the stories–
Look! One can almost see Tonto and the Lone Ranger riding into 3 Strikes Camp on a bright summer day–humidity, oh, about 10%–in pursuit of a small band of desperadoes. There they listen carefully to the stories of Cookie, Kitz and especially the “Perfesser,” who had “taught geology and metallurgy at Stanford but was kicked out for coed trouble”. Then, with new clues, they refill their canteens, saddle up, and descend the steep mountain trail to the broad plain stretching into the sunset below, eventually, of course, establishing Swift Justice for a Grateful Nation.

2nd edition, 2014
The author states: “I hope this short exposure to some of the ideas, profound and otherwise, in radio patents will inspire some reader to further the organization and presentation of the vast amount of information available in radio patent literature.” The book “is meant only to fire the reader’s interest enough to get him or her headed to the nearest library or internet terminal.” From Cooke’s and Wheatstone’s 1837 British patent for a telegraph through Jack Kilby’s 1964 U.S. patent for an integrated circuit.
