Il nome di Guglielmo Marconi è legato alla radio e alla tecnologia di comunicazione di massa senza fili, di cui lo si ritiene uno dei pionieri. Fu anche una grande mente del nostro Paese, che ha dimostrato il valore dell'eccellenza scientifica e imprenditoriale italiana in tutto il mondo. Se conosci Marconi per la prima trasmissione della voce umana oltreoceano, per l'invenzione della radio e per il premio Nobel per la fisica, grazie a questo libro potrai scoprire gli altri lati della sua vita, privata e professionale: le decine di brevetti in Inghilterra, la complicata vita matrimoniale, la sua avventura con i superstiti del Titanic, la disputa con il serbo Nikola Tesla per la paternità della radio, l'incidente in auto che gli causò la perdita di un occhio, l'impegno politico durante la guerra mondiale. Un ritratto a tutto tondo di una mente brillante che seguì il suo sogno per tutta la vita: consentire a una persona di comunicare facilmente e senza l'ausilio dei fili da una parte all'altra del mondo. Una personalità forte e carismatica che riuscì, con tenacia e dedizione, a trasformare la sua visione in realtà, nonostante le avversità, i problemi e gli ostacoli dei detrattori e della sorte.

This is the detailed story of Marconi's intense, five year struggle to develop a reliable and practical wireless communication system. It was a constant search for distance and reliability, often in the face of appalling weather. Step by step he overcame countless technical difficulties, battling seemingly insurmountable problems of physics and engineering as his embryonic system began to take shape. It was also a battle for public, press, commercial, military and scientific acceptance. It quickly became a war of money and ideas as Marconi fought against international and state sponsored competitors who deployed every form of industrial espionage and legal challenge. Each was determined to claim a piece of the new science and try to take control of what was becoming a new industrial revolution. In the end it was only Marconi who won through. He had the vision, self belief and force of character to build a working system and prove it under the harshest of climates. In doing so he built a huge company and a whole new industry, straight from the laboratory bench. But it was a close run thing. Many times during the first five years he nearly lost the race to tame Heinrich Hertz's wireless waves. But what he achieved on bleak windswept cliffs and basement laboratories around Britain's shores changed the world as we know it.

Marconi's Miracle: The Wireless Bridging of the Atlantic by D. R. Tarrant is the story of Guglielmo Marconi and the invention that changed the world. "One hundred years ago, on a cold and windy December afternoon in a small room of a former hospital on Signal Hill in St. John's, Newfoundland, three men hunched over a primitive radio receiver listening for a wireless signal from Cornwall, England," and the rest is history. Marconi's Miracle is an account of Guglielmo Marconi's ambition to bring the world into a new age of communication. After seeing and being dissatisfied with the world's dependence on wires, Marconi set into motion events that would change the face of communications forever. This book details his brief but momentous visit to St. John's, Newfoundland, where he conducted the most important experiment of his life, the reception of a wireless signal across the vast Atlantic Ocean.

The pioneer of radio communication, Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), had an Irish mother, Annie Jameson, and married, as his first wife, Beatrice O'Brien, daughter of Lord Inchiquin of Dromoland Castle, County Clare. This study traces Marconi's Irish and Italian family connections, and his work in Ireland, in particular the installations of his radio signalling stations at Crookhaven, Ballybunion and Clifden, which in 1907 was the most advanced station of its kind in the world.

In Thunderstruck, Erik Larson tells the interwoven stories of two men—Hawley Crippen, a very unlikely murderer, and Guglielmo Marconi, the obsessive creator of a seemingly supernatural means of communication—whose lives intersect during one of the greatest criminal chases of all time.Set in Edwardian London and on the stormy coasts of Cornwall, Cape Cod, and Nova Scotia, Thunderstruck evokes the dynamism of those years when great shipping companies competed to build the biggest, fastest ocean liners, scientific advances dazzled the public with visions of a world transformed, and the rich outdid one another with ostentatious displays of wealth. Against this background, Marconi races against incredible odds and relentless skepticism to perfect his invention: the wireless, a prime catalyst for the emergence of the world we know today. Meanwhile, Crippen, “the kindest of men,” nearly commits the perfect crime.With his superb narrative skills, Erik Larson guides these parallel narratives toward a relentlessly suspenseful meeting on the waters of the North Atlantic. Along the way, he tells of a sad and tragic love affair that was described on the front pages of newspapers around the world, a chief inspector who found himself strangely sympathetic to the killer and his lover, and a driven and compelling inventor who transformed the way we communicate. Thunderstruck presents a vibrant portrait of an era of séances, science, and fog, inhabited by inventors, magicians, and Scotland Yard detectives, all presided over by the amiable and fun-loving Edward VII as the world slid inevitably toward the first great war of the twentieth century. Gripping from the first page, and rich with fascinating detail about the time, the people, and the new inventions that connect and divide us, Thunderstruck is splendid narrative history from a master of the form.

Not just a whacked-out look at science fiction, this is an authoritative chronicling of real-life time travel experiments, teleportation devices and more. It takes the reader beyond the government experiments and deep into the uncharted territory of early time travellers such as Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi and their alleged time travel experiments, as well as the Wilson Brothers of EMI and their connection to the Philadelphia Experiment -The US Navy's forays into invisibility, time travel, and teleportation. Childress looks into the claims of time travelling individuals, and investigates the unusual claim that the pyramids on Mars were built in the future and sent back in time.
