Nikola Tesla: A Captivating Guide to the Life of a Genius Inventor (Biographies) Paperback – September 20, 2017

Kindle Unlimited, have read all the Captivating History books out so far, this one, well between knowing some of the history, reading some books as if Tesla had lived/lived in another time {or dimension or whatever} as well as sci-fi of course with him in it, this was more, and most times more is better, so really enjoyed this one, for sure.Explore the Captivating Life of Nikola Tesla Free History BONUS Inside!Obsessive, brilliant, and tortured, Nikola Tesla was lauded for his invention of the alternating current (AC), and other significant contributions to science. His claim that “harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor" both impressed and enraged the scientific community. Eventually, his peers could no longer dismiss his eccentricities and began to view him as a crackpot — a potentially dangerous one. Although Tesla’s work was a major factor in the success of the second Industrial Revolution, he died alone, impoverished, and largely shunned by the scientific community that once hailed him a genius.Beset by visions, without a wife or children, Nikola Tesla’s brilliant mind changed the world, even though at the time of his death he passed unnoticed into obscurity.Some of the topics covered in this book include: Childhood, Education and Early Career, Patents and Politics, The Eccentric Genius, Tesla’s Coil and the Niagara Contract, Influential Friends and the Lure of Flight, The Wardenclyffe Tower, 1914 and Beyond, And much more!World History: Captivating Stories of Events That Shaped Our Planet (Forgotten History, History of the World, History Books)Winston Churchill: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Winston S.

Anyone who appreciates Science, History and/or History of Science, should read this. An in-a-nutshell insight into the inventive genius of Nikola Tesla.

Although this book wasn't as lengthy or in depth as I would have liked, it did provide a good overview of the major points in Tesla's life. There are also a great deal of good quotes that can be taken from this book - both quotes from Tesla and quotes from the author of the book. Good for a quick read and very enjoyable.My only negative, other than the book's brevity, is that much of the end of the book was dedicated to a sneak peek of the book about Edison (who, according to me, was a jerk) so I just skipped over that part.

I love Nikola Tesla I think he's a fascinating scientist and I wish I could find out more about him thank you for the book

I found the book, both entertaining and informative. I like the fact that it was consice.

Absolutely a great read. I dare to imagine what the world would be like if Nikola Tesla had been given the recognition an funds he so deserved. To learn of such a great man's life is a honor. I wish I was taught this all in school.

Tesla is an interesting guy but this book is a slow read unless textbooks interest you. Would have probably enjoyed it more had it focused more on what he researched than on his eccentrics.

I liked reading about the greatest inventor ever. I liked reading about his inventions and how he arrived at his conclusions

Belle découverte d'un scientifique qui m'étais inconnu. Je connaissait le nom Tesla mais n'avais jamais entendu l'origine.

I loved this ebook. Read it whilst on holiday, I was in awe of the great man and his achievements. Just a shame there were too many greedy people suppressing the technology. We would be living in a different world today if it wasn't for him

Mycket bra

Merece la pena conocer a un personaje tan deslumbrante como generoso, cuyo trabajo nunca fue suficientemente valorado. Cuesta creer que todavía en libros de texto se atribuyan sus mejores inventos a otros científicos, como la radio, el radar, etc
