BLURB:
Nikola Tesla was a major figure in the world in which he lived. As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, it was Tesla who would contribute to some of the world's most amazing inventions. It was Tesla's theories, patents, and experiments that would pave the way for the digital, wireless world we are so familiar with today.Tesla didn't enjoy the high honors bestowed on so many of his contemporaries, yet he enjoyed the power of knowing that it was his inventions that were powering the world, literally. This book will take you through the life of Nikola Tesla. From his humble beginnings in Croatia to all he would accomplish as a citizen of the United States, Tesla shows how his imagination fueled his creativity and brought his inventions to life. See Nikola Tesla for what he truly was; an extraordinary visionary who sparked the world.
| Informative, yet I find myself missing REFERENCES. This is my second Hourly History book - neither of them had ANY references, but I think that they sorely need them. What if the reader wanted to read more about some topic or other - for instance one of Tesla's inventions - but was unable to do so because the author (or whoever) simply forgot to add in the references. The way it is now, makes it look like an essay a 12-year-old would write for school, not a serious history book. Also, this Tesla book may need some editing for some information is repeated more than once, but hey, maybe it was meant that way. |
