A brief overview of the life and work of the great Serbian American scientist Nikola Tesla. (

How could Margaret Cheney (Tesla : Man Out Of Time) and Robert Uth (Tesla : Master Of Lightning) improve upon their past individual works (a book and documentary video, respectively)? By combining their efforts to produce this wonderful book, that's how. The informative text is interspersed with 250 b&w and duotone images that show Tesla and the era in which he excelled (truly a man out of time). Also included are 36 sidebars that explain some of the technical aspects of Tesla's works. After reading several other books on Tesla, I thought I knew it all. I'm happy to say that this one proved me wrong. Not to be missed by true Tesla fans

Excellent summary of Tesla's life, inventions, thoughts, and their impact on the world. A good place to start exploring Nikola Tesla and his overlooked contributions to our world. (
