Description

In Tesla: Man Out-Of Time, Margaret Cheney examines the prescient and amazing brain of 1 of the twentieth-century's greatest scientists and designers. Named a madman by his opponents, a guru by others, and an enigma by almost everybody, Nikola Tesla was, without any doubt, a trailblazing creator who produced amazing, often world-changing products which were practically without theoretical precedent. Tesla not just discovered the rotating magnetic field -- the foundation on most alternating-current equipment -- but additionally introduced us to the basic principles of computers, robotics, and rocket technology. Almost supernaturally talented, unfailingly neurotic and showy, Tesla was stressed by a range of fears and compulsions and was keen on luxurious, experienced experimentations.
