Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic Collection)

Author(s): Nikola Tesla & Thomas Commerford Martin ISBN: 9781435149113 Binding: Hardcover Published: 2014-05-29 The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla is the definitive record of the pioneering work of one of the modern world’s most groundbreaking inventors. During the early twentieth century, Nikola Tesla blazed the trail that electrical technology would follow for decades afterward. Although he pioneered inventions like alternating current (AC), radio, wireless transmission, and X-rays, and worked with innovators like George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison, the once celebrated Tesla was later largely forgotten by history. With illustrations and diagrams of many of Tesla’s early patents and inventions, as well as dozens of thought-provoking lectures and articles, this volume offers a rare glimpse of a true genius at work.
