Description

Move over, Thomas Edison! Nikola Tesla takes the spotlight in a biography of the man who pioneered modern electrical engineering — and changed the course of history.

When a Serbian boy named Nikola Tesla used to be three, he stroked his cat and used to be enchanted by the electrical sparks. By the point he used to be an adolescent, he had made a vow: In the future I will be able to turn the power of Niagara Falls into electricity. Here is the story of the ambitious young man who brought life-changing ideas to The us, regardless of the obstructive efforts of his hero-turned-rival, Thomas Edison. From the usage of alternating current to light up the Chicago World’s Fair to harnessing Niagara to electrify New York City and beyond, Nikola Tesla used to be a revolutionary ahead of his time. Remote controls, fluorescent lights, X-rays, speedometers, cell phones, even the radio — all resulted from Nikola Tesla’s inventions. Established biographer Elizabeth Rusch sheds light on this abnormal figure, even as fine artist Oliver Dominguez brings his life and inventions to vivid color.
Back matter includes additional information about Tesla, scientific notes and explanations, source notes, a bibliography, and suggestions for further reading.
