Description
"Nikola Tesla examines the life and accomplishments of this brilliant but enigmatic scientist, detailing the breakthroughs that made him legendary and the possible factors that led to his personal and financial decline. As an inventor, researcher, and engineer, Tesla was an important contributor to the fields of commercial electricity and electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His patents and theoretical work formed the basis of the modern cell phone, and fluorescent light, radio, television, radar, and neon signs are only a few of the everyday products that exist because of his contributions to science. Ironically, Tesla ended his life with very little, dying alone and nearly penniless in New York hotel" --Cover, p. 4.
