The opening of the book introduces readers to the historical roots of electricity and its pivotal role in the creation of radio communications. Joly begins by detailing key figures in the history of electricity, such as Thales of Miletus and Benjamin Franklin, and explores their contributions to the understanding of electric phenomena. The subsequent chapters promise to delve into the milestones of radio communication, including the advent of amateur radio and notable events like the transatlantic tests of the early 1920s and the struggles faced by early Greek radio amateurs during their formative years. The text sets a tone of exploration and reverence for the contributions of amateur radio enthusiasts, emphasizing their significant role in technological innovation and communication.
