Excerpt from Who, What, Why Is Radio? Radio has Just experienced its first war. It emerges now into a troubled world. The people of all nations wonder, fairly, if there is inherent within the human race enough intelligence to protect itself in the end from the consequences of its own talents in one phase of development - the scientific laboratory phase. Do we possess the sheer brain capacity to devise ethics to match the destructive forces which have just been so eloquently dramatized in the buzz-bomb and the atom bomb? Bring these two inventions together, the radio-controlled flying torpedo and the deadly chemical formula which releases atomic energy - and the means exist for the suicide of the human race. All this adds up to saying that the conscience of the world needs to be kept on permanent alert. Only education and an enlightened public opinion can hope to keep the world peaceful. The moral is obvious: one of the great media of communication (i.e. education) is radio-broadcasting. What, then, is American radio like? Mr. Landry's provocative survey of the who-what-why has been widely read and quoted since its first appearance and now, the text partly revised to bring it up to date, it is re-issued because of the persistent demand for the work. It is not a lengthy volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
