The Invention of Wireless - Guglielmo Marconi's Amazing Creation
On December 12, 1901, a self-educated, passionately creative young Italian Inventor, Guglielmo Marconi 
transmitted the first trans-Atlantic wireless signal from Cornwall, England to St. John's, Newfoundland and soon to Cape Cod in the U.S., changing the course of history. Acclaimed writer, novelist and historian, Erik Larson's "Thunderstruck" weaves an amazing tale of scientific discovery with a diabolical turn of the century murder that gripped two continents.
