ResumoTHE publication is announced of the Proceedings of the International Congress held in Rome last September in connexion with the Marconi Jubilee (see Nature , November 29, 1947, p. 473). The volume, which comprises some 970 pages and 470 illustrations, is published by Dr. Giovanni Bardi, Salita de' Crescenzi 16, Rome, at the price of 4,000 lire. In a preface, Prof. Gustavo Colonnetti, president of the Italian National Research Council, describes the aims of the Congress, and the success which accompanied it with the interested support of many participants from various nations. The full texts of the fifty-nine papers, of which ten are by British authors, are reproduced in the volume, classified in four sections under the titles of electromagnetic waves, electric and acoustic oscillations, electronics and radio-communication. The papers are published in the language in which they were submitted by the authors. The numbers of papers in the four sections, with those in English indicated in brackets, are: 14 (9), 21 (8), 8 (5) and 16 (10). The publication provides an interesting survey of the many scientific and technical developments in this field in the half-century following Marconi‘s first successful demonstration of wireless signalling.
