Extrait : Giosuè Alessandro Michele Carducci est un poète italien né à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta, le 27 juillet 1835, et décédé à Bologne le 16 février 1907. Il fut le premier Italien à recevoir le Prix Nobel de littérature, en 1906. Il écrivit ses premières pièces en vers à l'âge de 13 ans avant de devenir un écrivain qui influencera profondément la vie intellectuelle de l'Italie du siècle. Son œuvre la plus connue est Odes Barbares, publiée en 1882. En 1906, malade et faible, il ne put se déplacer pour recevoir le prix Nobel. Il mourut l'année suivante. Il naît en 1835 à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta dans la Versilia en Toscane, de Michele et Ildegonda Celli. La famille déménage à Bolgheri, hameau de Castagneto dans le Maremme en 1839, où le père, impliqué dans les grèves des carbonari de 1831, exerçait le métier de médecin. C'est dans ce pays, souvent évoqué dans sa poésie, que le jeune Carducci passe une enfance tranquille. Carducci entreprend ses premières lectures à Bolgheri sous l'égide de son père, homme doté d'une bonne culture classique. En 1849 la famille s'installe à Florence, où le jeune Giosuè complète ses études chez les Scolopi, acquérant une bonne base en littérature et en rhétorique. En 1853, après avoir passé le concours, il s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres de l'École normale supérie...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
When in 1895 twenty-one-year-old Guglielmo Marconi made his first wireless transmission over land, he became the boy wonder of the world. When subsequently, he made similar transmissions across the Atlantic Ocean, thus proving to the world that his radio-related inventions had immediate and wide-spread applications for all of humanity, young Marconi ushered in the Age of Communication. The life, the works, the character of one of the greatest scientists of this Century, Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the Radio, are described in this carefully documented, impassioned and deeply involved book by an exceptional witness: his wife Maria Cristina. He was called 'The genius who gave a voice to silence'. Acclaimed by the whole world, the recipient of the most prestigious honours and decorations, he never lost his innate modesty and discretion even at the height of his success. ... Read more

Guglielmo Marconi's story told by his wife and daughter
This book was originally written (and reprinted several times) in Italian by the wife of Inventor and Statesman Guglielmo Marconi, and in recent years was translated to english by his daughter Elettra, who also added some important recollections. Guglielmo Marconi was the first to discover how to send a sound made in one box, to another box on the other side of the room.
This technology was then used by others, as it still is today, in inventions that involve wireless communication, such as satellite communication and radios.
He was Nobel Prize winner. He was credited with saving the lives of survivors on the Titanic because he installed the radio transmission on that ship.He conceived of, and built the Vatican Radio Station which is still a powerful communications tool for the world's millions of Roman Catholics.

Marconi comes to life!
Who invented the wireless radio? Well as we are taught in history class Marconi did. Now what else do we know about him? More or less very little, that was until now. This book is an exceptional look into one of thiscentury greatest men.

Written by Marconi's wife, this book is more than asimple biography, it is a love story, and it is a romance novel and mostimportantly it is history lesson all rolled into 370 plus pages of one ofthe best books I have ever read or reviewed.

The books tells more thanthe life work of the "man who gave voice to silence", it shows anotherside, this side history books never record. The book includes letter,pictures and even a listing of his honors.

Here is a book that should beon the must read list for those interested in history. I was trulyimpressed by the way the author makes the man come to life and shows histriumphs and his failures. Excellent reading for one and all! ... Read more

Product Description
When it was first published in 1996, Giancarlo Masini's biography of Marconi generated a wide range of interest and praise for its portrait of a brilliant scientist and a complex, fascinating individual.

Marconi's invention transformed modern communication technology and its inventor became a figure of international renown. Despite the criticism of skeptics and detractors, his relentless experimentation and belief in the possibilities of science resulted in professional acclaim. Masini also addresses Marconi's troubled marriages and his complex relationship to Mussolini and Italian Fascism. ... Read more

Save your money; buy the comic book!
This is a strange little book which offers no insight into the way Marconi thought about the technical aspects of radio or about many of the interesting issues associated with the early history of the Marconi Company. There are several photographs of early radio equipment but there is no discussion of what functions the devices have. There are no circuit diagrams. There are many pictures of Marconi and various notables; none of these are of archival value. If the reader wishes to learn more about how Marconi lost his eye, or about his extensive sexual adventures I recommend this book. If however the reader is a serious student of the history of radio I suggest the two volumes by Hugh G.J.Aitken or the History of the Marconi Company are much more valuable and interesting. ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio programming is the content that is broadcast by radio stations. The original inventors of radio, such as Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi, expected it to be used for one-on-one communication tasks where telephones and telegraphs could not be used because of the problems involved in stringing wires from one point to another, such as in ship-to-shore communications. Those inventors had no expectations whatever that radio would become a major mass entertainment and information medium earning many millions of dollars in revenues annually through commercial sponsorship. These latter uses were brought about after 1920 by business entrepreneurs such as David Sarnoff, who created the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and William S. Paley, who built Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). ... Read more
