Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla (Barnes & Noble Edition) is a reproduction of the seminal 1894 collection chronicling the groundbreaking work of the legendary inventor and electrical pioneer, Nikola Tesla. Compiled by his contemporary, Thomas Commerford Martin, this volume compiles Tesla’s most influential lectures, patents, and experiments—from alternating current (AC) systems and the Tesla coil to wireless transmission and early robotics.
The Barnes & Noble hardcover edition presents these visionary writings with historical context, emphasizing Tesla’s rivalry with Edison, his futuristic concepts (like global wireless energy), and his often-overlooked contributions to modern technology. While not an annotated or expanded scholarly work, its accessible format and vintage illustrations make it a treasure for engineers, historians, and admirers of scientific genius.
A testament to a mind ahead of its time, this book captures Tesla’s electrifying prose and relentless imagination—essential for understanding the roots of our electrified world.
