Known as the father of modern electricity, Nikola Tesla's work
transformed the world. The scientist and engineer registered more than
700 patents, from X-ray to radar, to the Tesla Coil, radio, and remote
control. This illustrated biography, with rare and beautifully
reproduced documents and photographs, follows the development of Tesla's
key theories and inventions, shining a light on an eccentric man who,
ultimately, led a life of solitude and penury despite contributing so
much to modern civilization.
