1941140939786New York: Modern Age Books 1941. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. xii 305 pp. Publisher's blue cloth stamped in red. A Very Good copy with toned pages light wear in an attractive example of the uncommon dust jacket Very Good unclipped chipped at extremities a few tape mends on verso small area of white paint spray on spine panel. The copy of biologist W. Franklin Dove 1897-1972 inscribed to him by his wife and dated 25 Dec. 1942 on front free endpaper; a few marginal penciled notes probably by Dove throughout. Dove was involved in "unicorn research" a number of strange experiments attempting to surgically recreate the horn of the fictional creature the unicorn. Madeline McCurry Schmidt wrote of Dove in a 2011 blogpost for the distinguished Scientific American magazine: Dr. W. Franklin Dove spent years of his career creating unicorns. Unicorn goats unicorn cows. Even tri-horned animals roamed Dove's barns. Dove created these strangely-horned animals by removing immature "horn buds" from the heads of young animals and implanting the horn buds to a different location on the skull. He wanted to prove that horns did not grow straight out of the skull; instead horn tissue developed separately and fused to the skull as it grew. Understand that Dove was no crackpot scientist. Dove was a biologist at the University of Maine who studied animal production in the early 20th century. He had all the right collaborators and the right publications. Dove was a serious scientist. It's not the "seriousness" of Dove's endeavors that animal rights advocates might take issue with but moving on Nigel Suckling wrote of Dove's notorious"unibull" creation: in 1933 Dove took a day-old Ayrshire calf surgically removed its horn buds trimmed them to fit together and replanted them in the centre of its forehead. As the young bull grew the buds fused and produced a single solid straight and pointed horn a foot or so in length which proved equally useful for fighting and uprooting fences far superior in fact to the usual brace of curved ones when it comes to confronting a rival. Dr Dove's Unicorn bull became the leader of its herd and was very rarely challenged by other males. This result inspired at least recent one neuroscientist to examine the relationship of anatomy to behavior. A notable work of zoology that extends into realms of cryptozoology with a very unusual association that brings in the related subfield of experimental zoology. Modern Age Books unknown books

Otherwise a nice clean bright copy. Text in German. Cloth. Wagner was a full member of the Academy of Sciences Berlin and was made in 1931 an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Boston. He held numerous other awards including in 1930: Slaby-Plakette des Deutschen Funktechnischen Verbandes. In 1924 he founded the magazine Zeitschrift Elektrische Nachrichtentechnik.<br/><br/>In the foreword Wagner notes that the sudden onset of broadcasting has created high demand for wireless telephony and has accelerated technical developments dramatically. The new building blocks of broadcasting can be built on the progress made in radio technology. In addition to the general relations of electrodynamics the laws of transmission propagation and reception of electric waves the events occurring in the electron tubes and their mode of action in the various circuits as rectifiers amplifiers and vibration exciters and finally the laws of acoustics and the operation of the electro-acoustic devices all play a role. Knowing all of these things is essential for building a good broadcast radio but is not easy to acquire because so far there has been no where to go for sound details regarding all of these issues.<br/><br/>The Heinrich Hertz Society in 1925 created a plan to promote broadcasting over the airwaves by organizing a series of lectures about "The scientific basis of radio communications". This book was the much enlarged result. Wagner is probably best known for the development of what we now call wave filterswork he did starting in 1915.<br/><br/>"The most prominent researchers G. A. Campbell in the United States and K. W. Wagner in Germany explored selective filter circuits for telephone applications in the early years of World War I thus paving the way for the first ideas about electrical circuit synthesis. They designed sophisticated filter circuits simply by cascading elementary sections of lossless inductors and capacitors. The circuits obtained in this way had a striking similarity to circuit models in engineering transmission line theory and henceforth were called ‘wave filters'." Life and Work of Wilhelm Cauer 1900 - 1945 Cauer et al Proc. MTNS2000 Perpignan France June 19 - 23 2000<br/><br/>Waveguide filters today are most useful in the microwave band of frequencies where they are a convenient size and have low loss. Examples of microwave filter use are found in satellite communications telephone networks and television broadcasting. <br/><br/>Davis Electrical and Electronic Technologies #372 noting that in 1915 filter technology came into being with the independent proposal of it by Campbell and Wagner.
