Radio Antenna Engineering was published in 1952, and presents an excellent overview of the state of commercial antenna system engineering as practiced in the first half of the 20th century. As its name implies, it's not solely about electromagnetic or radio or antenna theory although these issues are certainly a part of what it talks about. Rather, it focuses on matters surrounding the nuts and bolts (and logs, beams, bars, wires, and insulators) of actually designing and implementing a large-scale antenna system. As Laport writes,

* What are BRI and PRI? What are Channels?
* What do the layers look like?
* What protocols are used?

The increasing availability, use, and globalization of information and telecommunication technologies (ITs) have begun to create relationships between their application and the competitiveness and productivity of industry. What these relationships are and how the positive ones can be stimulated are important issues in the development of national public policies, particularly those relating to ITs.
