5.0 out of 5 stars
Sure you want this book!,
This review is from: Wizard: Life and Times of Nikola Tesla (Citadel Press Book) (Paperback)
If you like biographies about great persons, this book has its natural place side by side with "Genius" (James Gleich about Richard Feynman).And when you have read it, you'll become amazed why Tesla isn't as famous as Einstein (or Feynman). Unlike many books about Tesla, this is about facts - and what facts! There are no place to myths about Tesla, the facts are enough - and this is the book where you'll find them. A reliable and well written book about a true wizard of science - a wizard that made life easier to billions - and "how" and "why" he did it.

A great introduction to the genius of Tesla,
This review is from: Wizard: Life and Times of Nikola Tesla (Citadel Press Book) (Paperback)
This is a well written biography of Tesla which gives a factual account of his unbelievable career. It shows that he was an engineer; his inventions worked because he did the theory to ensure they did. He was way ahead of his contemporaries, including Marconi and Edison, and this books should be in every degree course.

The Best Tesla Biography to Date,
By
This review is from: Wizard: Life and Times of Nikola Tesla (Citadel Press Book) (Paperback)
A factual, academic Tesla biography, without any of the usual sensationalism of his being sent from other planets!Extremely well written, the book reads like a novel and also acts as an excellent reference work. The Margaret Cheney and Robert Lomas books make a good introduction to a man who was a rather complex subject, but this book really does add so many layers to his character that to any serious student of Tesla or his work this should be an essential part of their library.
