Who Was Nikola Tesla?

Who Was Nikola Tesla? traces the electrifying life of the brilliant and eccentric inventor, from his early experiments in his native Croatia to his arrival in America with little more than a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison, the man who would become his fiercest rival. Readers follow Tesla through his groundbreaking work in electricity, X-rays, remote controls, and wireless communication, including his invention of the Tesla coil that helped shape modern radio technology. This is a great choice for students because it introduces a brilliant but often-overlooked scientist whose innovations still shape modern life, in the accessible, engaging Who Was? biography format beloved by reluctant and curious readers alike.
