Books Included in This Lot:

📚 Tesla: Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney Called a madman by his enemies, a genius by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Nikola Tesla was, without a doubt, a trailblazing inventor who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming devices that were virtually without theoretical precedent. Tesla not only discovered the rotating magnetic field — the basis of most alternating-current machinery — but also introduced us to the fundamentals of robotics, computers, and missile science. Almost supernaturally gifted, unfailingly flamboyant and neurotic, Tesla was troubled by an array of compulsions and phobias and was fond of extravagant, visionary experimentations. Amazon Called "informative and delightful" by American Scientist , this is the most widely read and widely recommended Tesla biography ever written — spanning from his childhood in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to his death in a New York hotel room in 1943.

📚 The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla compiled and edited by Thomas Commerford Martin Written in 1893, this book is a comprehensive record of Tesla's pioneering activities, research, and works — containing forty-three chapters on different areas of his research and inventions. At the time of publication, this was the "bible" of every electrical engineer practicing the profession. Wikipedia A historically invaluable primary source document that brings together Tesla's own lectures, experimental descriptions, and technical papers — with many illustrations including his landmark work on polyphase currents, the Tesla coil, and high-potential lighting.
