Description
Get ready for the electrifying biography of Nikola Tesla—part creative genius, part mad scientist, and 100% innovator.
When Nikola Tesla arrived in the United States in 1884, he didn't have much money, but he did have a letter of introduction to renowned inventor Thomas Edison. The working relationship between the two men was short lived, though, and the two scientist-inventors became harsh competitors. One of the most influential...
