Electrifying, thought-provoking, and endlessly surprising, The Story of Nikola Tesla is the true biography of history's most underappreciated genius, ideal for curious young minds aged 8 to 12.Nikola Tesla was born in Serbia in 1856 and showed signs of extraordinary intelligence from his earliest years. After studying engineering in Europe, he made the crossing to New York with almost nothing, a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison in his pocket.
The two brilliant minds clashed spectacularly, sparking the legendary War of Currents, a battle over whose electrical system would power the modern world.Tesla won the argument. His alternating current system became the global standard. He went on to develop technologies so far ahead of their time that they baffled even his admirers: wireless communication, the remote control, X-ray technology, and a plan to beam free electricity around the entire globe.Yet he died poor and alone in a New York hotel room. This biography gives him the recognition he deserves and gives young readers one of history's most spectacular scientific adventures.Inside you will find: Tesla's early life in Serbia and his extraordinary mind as a child. His arrival in America and the rivalry with Thomas Edison. The inventions that changed the world. The dreams that were too big for his era and why they matter more than ever today. Note: Your Spanish edition (Nikola Tesla: El Curioso) is already selling this is the English original your readers have been waiting for.
