Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology. Among Tesla\u2019s creations were the channeling of alternating current, fluorescent and neon lighting, wireless telegraphy, and the giant turbines that harnessed the power of Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<p>This essential biography is illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including the July 20, 1931, Time magazine cover for an issue celebrating the inventor\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWizard is a truly remarkable biography of a remarkable man. The expression \u2018ahead of his time\u2019 is used too loosely and too often today but in the case of Nikola Tesla \u2018ahead of his time\u2019 barely describes the genius of this man. Marc Seifer makes us understand not only the man but the times in which he lived.\u201d\u2014Nelson DeMille<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA deep and comprehensive biography of a great engineer of early electrical science\u2014likely to become the definitive biography.
