Using patents, published and unpublished documents, and interviews with television pioneers including Zworykin himself, Abramson reconstructs the inventor's life from his early years in Russia, through his stay as RCA's technical guru under David Sarnoff, to his death in 1982. More than fifty photographs show highlights of Zworykin's work. Abramson notes the contributions of other scientists - particularly Zworykin's biggest rival, Philo T. Farnsworth - to the advancement of television. However, he argues, it was Zworykin's inventions that made modern, all-electronic television possible, causing many to award him the title "father of television."

Zworykin: Pioneer of Television
Peter Wolfe is, apparently, a Professor of English. In this volume, he takes a look at "The Twilight Zone". It's very confused, and he clearly misses the point of many of the shows he writes about.
For example, of "Eye Of The Beholder", one of the show's most iconic stories, he writes: "The pig-snouted citizens of the state know they're ugly despite what their leader tells them." (Page 154) If you've seen this story, you know that's the exact OPPOSITE of what this story is saying.
A book most devoutly to be ignored.
