Synopsis
Cheney's biography of one of the greatest inventors and scientists of the modern age restores Tesla's precedence as the true inventor of radio, as well as of other remarkable firsts such as the harnessing of alternating current, remotely guided weapons, florescent lighting, and the bladeless turbine. The biography illuminates Tesla's relationships with George Westinghouse, J. P. Morgan, Thomas Edison, Michael Pupin, Guglielmo Marconi, and Mark Twain. Cheney also explains the controversies surrounding Tesla's unusual methods of generating publicity and his unfulfilled explorations into controlling weather and the wireless transmission of electric power.

Industry Reviews
"What a subject! At any level the story is on par with flamboyantly contrived fiction. The record of discovery, innovation, and speculation reflects a visionary genius as fertile as any in the history of modern science....Uncommonly colourful...absorbing."
Gordon

"Fascinating...an irresistible subject."
Gordon

"Cheney's excellent biography of one of the most idiosyncratic and truly enigmatic 'scientists' is both comprehensive and well-written....Very warmly recommended."
Gordon

"Excellent...a significant contribution to the recent history of science. This well-documented and exhaustive biography explores the unusual life and creative genius of this remarkable discoverer, benevolent eccentric, and solitary humanist....The author sheds new light on Tesla's relationships with Edison, Westinghouse, Marconi, and Pupin....Informative and delightful to read."
Heyworth
