Recently, I read an excellent book on the invention of TV, which looks at the individuals, failures, advances, frustrations, companies, and rivalries that, incredibly, spawned today's ubiquitous video system. Unlike the many books that gloss over technical issues, this book looks in adequate technical depth at key developments, such as photosensitive sensors, the scanning wheel, the CRT, the vidicon, and others.
