Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison are two giants of electrical engineering. Their inventions changed history. But the electricity between the two is no secret to the world. This book will give a full account of Tesla's life, drawing from multiple sources, including his own autobiography, which he published in parts many years ago. It will review his life; his way of thinking - including both his moments of genius and his moments of odd or unusual behavior that many also know him for; and the work he did, which many have forgotten, but which is now recognized for its important influence on the progress of scientific development. Thomas is still remembered as one of the greatest inventors of all time, and perhaps the greatest that America has ever produced. In truth, Edison was a man who invented a lot of things while bringing about incredible advancements in many other things. With the stock ticker, the telegraph, the light bulb, and motion picture, he may not have invented them, but he improved on them beyond any recognition. They would not be the technologies they were today without Edison's great mind working on them.
- Nikola Tesla. A Brilliant Mind
- Nikola Tesla. A Troubled Mind
- Nikola Tesla. A Forgotten Mind
- Thomas Edison. The telegraph and the start of his genius
- Thomas Edison. It wasn't always about success for Edison
- Thomas Edison. The truth about the light bulb
- Thomas Edison. The rivalry between Tesla and the war of the currents
And much more!
Many people consider Tesla to be a historical underdog, as his accomplishments are often overshadowed by those of his rivals. However, he might also be thought of as a lone wolf in not only his personal life but also in the scientific and technological world. Uncommon for the time, Tesla never married and never had children. It seems he also had few friends or personal confidants. Thomas Edison seems to be remembered these days either the man who invented the light bulb or the man who didn't. Without knowing any more about him, you are either giving him false praise for something he didn't do or not considering all the other work he did.
