Conclusions and Questions. 330 $aIn the early twentieth century, the magic of radio was new, revolutionary, and poorly understood. A powerful symbol of modernity, radio was a site where individuals wrestled and came to terms with an often frightening wave of new mass technologies. Radio was the object of scientific investigation, but more importantly, it was the domain of tinkerers, "hackers," citizen scientists, and hobbyists. This book shows how this wild and mysterious technology was appropriated by ordinary individuals in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century as a leisure activity. Clubs and hobby organizations became the locus of this process, providing many of the social structures within which individuals could come to grips with radio, apart from any media institution or government framework. In so doing, this book uncovers the vital but often overlooked social context in which technological revolutions unfold. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-9738 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aTechnology 606 $aHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aHistory of Technology 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Technology. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a384.540943 676 $a621.38416094309041 700 $aCampbell$b Bruce$f1955-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01786656 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483401503321 996 $aThe Radio Hobby, Private Associations, and the Challenge of Modernity in Germany$94318581 997 $aUNINA
