              Dear friends, I have read the book with great interest. 
                The book really captivates and I cannot tear myself away the book. 
                The book contains 16 very interesting chapters, and every chapter 
                says us a separately story about radio. I can strongly recommend 
                to you have read this book. Below you can see the Contents of
