Antenna reception theory

I have looked in some books, and can understand transmission, but the
books I have looked in don't explain reception.

This is another example of quantum physics being easier
to understand than Maxwell's equations. RF photons are
absorbed by free electrons in the copper antenna causing
RF currents to flow in the antenna wire.
