Notes: "Thirty years ago, Gioia Marconi Braga, the daughter of Guglielmo Marconi, founded an institution to commemorate and continue her father's legacy. Through the annual Marconi prize, the public foundation has recognized and honored telecommunications innovations in the public interest. Winners of the award, Marconi Fellows, comprise the milestone-makers and technological giants of the age. To recount the pace and progress of communications across the century, incorporating the seminal contributions of the Fellows, the Marconi Foundation at Columbia University is publishing this thirtieth anniversary volume. The work is dedicated to Gioia Marconi Braga. Although the context is technology, the humanistic aim is to record the public benefit of telecommunications"--P. viii.
