Radio Books

Dr. Perry has written a great reference on voice quality issues found in real-world telecom networks. This book goes beyond the "can you hear me now?" level of network voice quality. His careful coverage of voice quality concepts will allow newcomers to grasp the key essentials. Sufficient references are provided to allow a "deeper dive" into more technical details if required. The book's website offers several audio WAV files to demonstrate the concepts presented in the book. He assesses the risks to voice quality with the migration to IP based voice transport.

The detail included in this book is wonderful. For a person trying to learn the basics and move on to advanced thinking about Digital Television this is a must read. Mr. Collins comes from a background in HDTV and can really explain the process to even a novice like myself.

Very educational and informative

Powerhouse publishing firm JJ Fedorowicz have done it again. This 610 page behemoth contains over 800 photos in a large 9" x 12" format and covers everything you ever wanted to know about the "Funks" but were afraid to ask.

Coverage begins with a technical analysis of the various radio controlled demolition vehicles. Author Marcus Jaugitz guides the reader through the various Borgward, NSU and Goliath models employed by the Germans. Also interesting is the information on the Schwimmwagen 129 modified for demolition service, although it wasn't selected for use in service, this is interesting nonetheless.

The next portion of the book covers the early units which used the sdkfz 265 (Panzer I kleine Befelspanzer) as control vehicles. A large number of images are included in this section and they are of excellent quality and mostly unpublished.

The book then moves on to cover Pz. Abt 300 and 301with their panzer III control tanks. Photo coverage is spectacular consisting of large clear images that are usually only 2 per page (considering that this is a large format book, this makes images that are larger than some full page photos in smaller format publications).

Being a StuG fan, the next 300 pages or so are the highlight of the book as literally hundreds of images of StuG III Ausf G are featured in various situations. Also included are some images of a 3 ton Maultier using a Borgward truck and sdkfz 11 running gear. Only 2 of these were produced, nice to have them caught on film. Also of interest are image of Ferdinands which served or trained alongside these units. Also included are some particularly nasty images of the fighting during the Warsaw uprising,

Tiger unit coverage is excellent with some great action shots as well as detail photos clearly showing the antennae arrangement.

Throughout the book there are numerous organisational organigrams which are very nicely done. The book concludes with 30 pages of nice colour plates from Jean Restayn, handy stuff for the modeller or historian.

It's particularly difficult to give a really comprehensive summary of the material covered in a book of this size, but I can only say that in this case, good things come in big packages. This book is easily as good as JJF's 653 book, in fact based on the quality of the images and the unique subject matter, I would rate this as JJF's best book yet. The sheer amount of unpublished StuG and Tiger images alone make this book essential reference material, let alone the historical value of the excellent text and Borgward coverage.

Very highly recommended.

This book shows the other side of the story. It's absolutely hilarious, enough to cheer anyone up! Read on to find out what really happened that fatefull morning!

I bought this for my parents (60 & 65 yrs old) and they loved it. Great gift.

Here's a short quote from this book:

"The ... narrative overflows with familiar icons of childhood and small-town American life - daydreams and disappointments, abseball and Boy Scouts, lawn ornaments and storm windows, Main Street and Founder's Square. But Keillor works his local-color material so that it debunks the same sentimentality and nostalgia that it evokes. ... in the final analysis the narrator's praise for small-town America is about as trustworthy as the boy's booming baritone."

Such a complex fella. Keillor left Lake Wobegone for a clear and understandable reason: he was stultified by the environment and the atmosphere where "artsy" types were viewed with deep suspicion and contempt.

However, this was the ground he stood on, unlike so many others, and it became his lifelong meal ticket...

I used this book as a refresher study guide for the FCC GROP license test. I passed the test. Good terse source of general regulation and radio information. Very concise and to the point. Covers all subjects needed.

Orson Welles was a genius, and this marvelous collection (which is really just a sampling) of his radio work demonstrates just that. Not only is the listener treated to Welles' treatment of a variety of genres, but the listener is also given the chance to hear Welles' wide-ranging vocal abilities. The only minor complaint I would have is the lack of an inclusion of Welles' classic British radio programs, The Third Man and The Black Museum. Nevertheless, this is a valuable collection filled with rare vintage material.

I read Gorge Speaks for a school project. I thought that this book was a very fun book to read! I liked this book because it was funny, it really got your attention and I just thought it had a good ending. I think a lot of people would read this book if they had a chance to and the time. I think mostly that a lot of kids would read it. Probably ages 4-9I really like this book and I highly recommend it and I hope you like it!
