Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Books have long been one of the strongest allies of civilization; so is communication. Both liberate ideas, spread knowledge and knit human kinship. It is pleasing to me that Mr. Dunlap, an editor possessing a wide background of practical experience in radio, has authored this story of Marconi wireless, recording the historic steps of science, and the part that I have had the honor to play in it.<br><br>In revealing to the world the significance of wireless and its influence on the lives of the people, I hope that this book in English will further cement the friendship of Italy and the Anglo-speaking nations, and that this story of wireless will be an inspiration to youth in science. The achievements of wireless illustrate the truth that where there is a will there is a way. There are no limits in science; each advance widens the sphere of exploration. It was that way in 1895; it is that way now. Radio is a symbol of progress.
