AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF NIKOLA TESLA AND OTHER WORKS

Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband, he says it is a bit weird, but an excellent read. Some of the spelling is a bit suspect in places, but I expect much of the content is from the original papers. The book is a pretty universal coverage of. Tesla's life and works. His experiments are well documented and illustrated. All in all, I am told it is a very good book.

fine book, complete embarrassment shipping process. last time i order a book from amazon, seems to be the norm for them to package and send off damaged and/or used books and selling them as new.

Arguably the best book containing Tesla’s research and writings. There is a similar book on the market titled “The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla,” which is also leather-bound, and was published by “Barnes & Noble,” 2014. I will try to provide my reasons why I view “The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla and Other Works” published by “Canterbury Classic,” 2021 to be better in all respects.1. This book includes EVERYTHING that is in the “Barnes & Noble” book, but also adds 84 pages of “The autobiography of Nikola Tesla,” 80 pages of “Other Articles,” and 70 pages containing “The Problem of Increasing Human Energy.” The autobiography comprises “My Early Life,” “My First Efforts in Invention,” “My Later Endeavours,” “The Discovery of the Tesla Coil and Transformer,” “The Magnifying Transmitter,” and “The Art of Teleautomatics.” “Other articles” are “Famous Scientific Illusions,” “Tesla’s Egg of Columbus,” “The Moon’s Rotation,” “The True Wireless,” “The Moon’s Rotation” (second part), and “Electrical Oscillators.”2. I highly appreciate that the editors from “Canterbury Classic” did all the typesetting. Typos from the original “Inventions, Researches...” were meticulously corrected. (As opposed to “Barnes & Noble,” which seems to be merely a photocopy of the one-century-old original! E.g., the misspelled “strenth” on p. 126, line 8 from “Barnes & Noble” is spelled correctly on p. 374, line 8 in this version.)3. All figures are of excellent quality. Bearing in mind how old they are, they are very likely the best copies that could have been used. (As opposed to this, “Barnes & Noble” had too dark pictures. E.g., Fig. 139, 140, etc. were virtually black.) “Canterbury Classic” did an excellent job. The pictures are resized to fit whole pages or appropriate gaps in the text.I like the fact that these are the actual Tesla’s writings. To me they are of much higher value than publications of certain modern authors, who may be tempted to “bend” facts trying to make Tesla’s work more entertaining.To sum up, this is an excellent collection of Tesla’s papers; substantially better than a similarly looking leather-bound collection from 2014. I’m rather surprised that “Barnes & Noble” are still bold enough to ask about 60 % more when you can buy this book from “Canterbury Classic.”

My son loves this book. it has beautiful pictures.

Beautiful book for a gift or library.
