A scholarly history of the portable radio with many popular culture references - a work of "popular archaeology". Schiffer is the Fred A. Riecker Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. His areas of scholarly interest are behavioral archaeology, archaeological method and theory, experimental archaeology, technology and society, ceramic technology, and history of electrical technology (from his webpage).
