Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this volume, a lecture given at the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London, brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla dazzles his audience with his keen insight and an array of experiments that pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. Tesla's discoveries, more than a century old, continue to astound students and scholars of the history of science. Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943) was a revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism. Though he is now widely forgotten, Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers almost all of the technological wonders in the world today, from home heating to computers to high-tech precision robotics.

This book is simply a collection of Tesla's lectures. It is extremely long. I'm sure things would be different if Tesla was still here to give these lectures in person. It is not a fast read.
It does allow elaboration of some of Tesla's ideas, but I felt it was an injustice that this edition didn't endeavor to clarify some of Tesla's ideas to make them more easily understandable.
Too many publishers are simply reprinting his notes without really contributing to a better understanding of his ideas and principles. This edition contributes nothing to a better understanding of then man outside of his own words.

Here is an AUTHENTIC source of Tesla's work. It is a reprint of the original edition. "Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency" which is a lecture Tesla presented at the Institution Of Electrical Engineers, London. Included with this lecture is an appendix on the "Transmission of Electric Energy Without Wires" by Nikola Tesla. If you want to understand how Tesla thought & worked; this book will allow you to gain real insight into his mind. The future he envisioned can largely be seen in our everyday lives. But this was over a hundred years ago!
Nikola Tesla is a craftsman with an intimate relationship of his work and materials. He innately grasps the nature of electricity. Dubbed the "Electric Magician" by the public, he amazed even engineers & scientists of his day. Henry Ford & Thomas Edison did their best to see that Tesla was forgotten. Neither the Ford Foundation nor the Smithsonian can silence history. Ford & Edison were great entrepreneurs. Tesla was a true genius and humanitarian! This book stands as a testament to his brilliance.
