If you're more interested in a practical approach to designing and building antennas for radios, find a recent copy of the ARRL Handbook, the source of information about ham radio. In it, you'll find some theory, a little math, but mostly, how to build and deploy a wide variety of antennae to cover frequency ranges from 2 MHz to 10 GHz. They also offer a stand-alone book on nothing but antennas with more details and examples.

Its easy to make an antenna; its just a bent length of wire at the end of the day. Making it be the same length of bent wire today, tomorrow and beyond, when its mounted outside and /or in harsh conditions, thats difficult.
