World Classics Library: Nikola Tesla - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This striking hardback edition with printed page edges brings together the selected writings of the genius scientist and experimenter, Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla was an extraordinary inventor, a brilliant thinker and an eccentric visionary. Ahead of his time in many ways, he pioneered our understanding of electricity and set the foundations for much of modern technology.

This collection brings together a wide range of his writings, ranging from his autobiographical articles in Electrical Experimenter to his lectures and writings on electricity and his lively debates in the scientific magazines to his unconventional and sometimes outlandish letters to newspapers. In addition to his well-known work on alternating current (AC) electricity, he researched topics such as electric cars, cosmic rays, the wireless transmission of energy and remote-controlled vehicles. Many of his ideas were seen as outlandish and implausible at the time, but have since been proven to be true.
