* * * Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine. Nikola Tesla * * * Nikola Tesla is a name you may have heard. In fact, it is a name that has grown in increasing popularity over the last several years as people recognize more and more the extraordinary work he had done. When you hear the name, you likely think of a scientist who fell into historical obscurity. You may not know the details of this man, his life, the work he did, his accomplishments, or the challenges he faced. However, if you picked up this book, you likely want to know more about Tesla, perhaps wanting to bring him out of the obscurity of your own mind. * * * 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.
