Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology. Among Tesla's creations were the channeling of alternating current, fluorescent and neon lighting, wireless telegraphy and the giant turbines that harnessed the power of Niagara Falls.
The book is illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including the July 20, 1931, Time magazine cover from an issue celebrating the inventor's career.
