Nikola Tesla played a
powerful role in the electrical revolution that transformed life at the
turn of the 20th century. Born to a Serbian family in Croatia, he
studied engineering in Austria before immigrating to America in 1884. He
arrived penniless in New York, and within a decade, rivaled Thomas
Edison as a celebrity scientist. His inventions, patents and theoretical
work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the
development of radio and wireless communication. A new biography draws
on original papers from Tesla’s private and public life to examine what,
why and how he invented.
