Sinossi

'Vacuum Tubes' presents a fascinating journey through one of the most transformative technological developments of the 20th century, beginning with Lee De Forest's groundbreaking Audion tube invention in 1906. The book masterfully weaves together the technical evolution and historical significance of vacuum tubes, which powered everything from early radio communications to sophisticated radar systems during World War II, fundamentally shaping modern electronics for over five decades.

 
Through a well-structured progression, the narrative explores three crucial phases: the early radio communication era (1906-1920), the golden age of consumer electronics (1920-1950), and the transition to transistor technology (1950-1970). The book illuminates how vacuum tubes enabled revolutionary advances in signal amplification, making transcontinental telephone calls and early computing possible.

 
Drawing from original patents, engineering drawings, and laboratory notes from companies like RCA and Western Electric, it provides readers with authentic insights into the rapid development of electronic innovation. The text skillfully balances technical detail with historical context, examining how vacuum tube technology transformed daily life through the proliferation of radio receivers and television sets, while also playing a crucial role in military applications and early computers.

 
The book concludes by exploring the technology's eventual decline with the rise of transistors, while acknowledging its enduring legacy in specific applications, particularly high-end audio equipment. Throughout, complex technical concepts are presented in accessible language, making this comprehensive work valuable for both electronics enthusiasts and students of technological history.

    State of the Union 1983

    The 1983 State of the Union address, delivered January 25, 1983, focuses on “what we can do together -- not as Republicans and Democrats, but as Americans -- to make tomorrow's America happy and prosperous at home, strong and respected abroad, and at peace in the world.” 
    Reagan praises a bipartisan proposal to save social security. He blames deficits on domestic spending and not on defense spending or tax cuts. A four-part plan is proposed to reduce the deficit: first, a federal spending freeze; second, reducing fraud and waste in programs such as food stamps; third, reductions in defense spending; and fourth, a future tax increase but only if Congress approves the spending freeze. 
    Reagan proposes the Employment Act of 1983 to provide training for the long-term unemployed. Educational reforms are proposed to promote math and science and tax credits for parents who send their children to private or religiously affiliated schools. Many other reforms relating to port modernization, women’s rights, civil rights, crime, agriculture, job training, health care, and technology are proposed.  
    In the international arena, we export over 20 percent of our industrial production and 40 percent of our farm produce. As the leader of the West, “America must be an unrelenting advocate of free trade.” While pursuing arms reduction with the Soviet Union, Reagan insists that agreements be verifiable, noting “the overwhelming evidence of Soviet violations of international treaties”. 
    Reagan asserts that “America is on the mend” and asks Congress “to make government a help, not a hindrance to our people in the challenging but promising days ahead.”
