This Week's Featured Items
"Making Waves--The People and Places of Iowa Broadcasting" by Jeff Stein
It began in 1922 when Col. Bartlett Joshua Palmer purchased a fledgling radio station across the river in Rock Island, Illinois and brought it to Davenport. Commercial broadcasting was born in the state of Iowa. Iowans were already building crystal set receivers in their basements and now the signals they were receiving were actually coming from Iowa. This book chronicles the tremendous impact the medium has had on our lives. Nationally recognized broadcasting historian Jeff Stein tells the story of the founding of the earliest radio and television stations, with behind-the-scenes details that have never been shared before. The award-winning design combines stories about news and sports broadcasters, disc jockeys, children's shows and more with more than 150 photographs and a CD-ROM of photos and actual audio and video segments from the past. "Making Waves" also features introductory notes from Iowa broadcasting legends Jack Shelley and Grant Price. Hardcover (10x9 inches) with CD-ROM, 186 pages.
