Fedunkiw, Marianne. Inventing the Radio. Crabtree Publishing: 2007. ISBN: 9780778728177.
Signal warnings were used before radios. It took too long and sometimes came late, so in 1821 Michael Furaday created the early radio. Later on, Gugielmo Marconi created an advancement on radios that were used on ships. Radios saved lives, caught criminals, spread news, and broadcasted music. Radios were on air in the early 1900's. KDKA was the first station. Radios were later used in homes all across the world. When more stations came along, there were soap operas and radio dramas. They have FM and AM frequencies. Walkie-Talkies were invented to be used while walking and talking. Now there are radios for travel, such as MP3 players. They are still coming up with more!
Inventing the Radio is a good book for research. The pictures explained the text very well. My favorite picture was on page 10, of the Titanic. This book is probably for people ages 11 and up. It has a couple of hard words to understand. This gives a very good description of what is inside a radio. But, if you didn't need it for research, I don't think you would want to read it. It's not the most interesting book I've ever read but if you like radios I htink you will enjoy it!
