This is essentially a theory book rather than a practical build yourself book but the information contained is easily transfered from the theory to practical. About the only type of aerial that is not covered is the "Magnetic Loop".
There is information on everything relating to aerials including propagation, feeding the aerial, beams, arrays, long wires, reception specific aerials, location of aerials, single and multiple aerials, portable and mobile aerials and even hidden aerials, test equipment and finaly practical applications.
In summary an excellent book for anyone who wants to know about the theory behind aerial construction without too much maths it is written in a manner that is easy to understand perhaps not for the absolute novice but certainly for anyone with more than a passing interest in amateur radio.
