About this title

Synopsis

""Marconi: The Man And His Wireless"" is a definitive biography of Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor who revolutionized communication with his pioneering work in wireless telegraphy. Written by noted historian Orrin E. Dunlap Jr., the book traces Marconi's life from his early experiments with electricity as a boy to his groundbreaking work on wireless communication, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909. Along the way, Dunlap explores Marconi's personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as his business dealings and the controversies that surrounded his work. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with Marconi's surviving family members, ""Marconi: The Man And His Wireless"" offers a fascinating portrait of a brilliant inventor and the impact his work had on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
