Nikola Tesla was one of the 20th century's great pioneers; his role in advancing electrical energy through the use of alternating current, and his stupendous engineering finesse, make this biography by journalist John J. O'Neill a fine read. Born in a Serbian village to a religious family, Nikola demonstrated an early interest in physics. The nascent science behind electricity - in the 1870s a mysterious, unharnessed force - became his passion. Though the young man's engineering aspirations were almost derailed when he contracted cholera, and later by Austro-Hungarian conscription, Tesla managed to enrol to study in Graz, Austria. A top-class student, tutors admiration for Tesla's gifts and boundless curiosity was tempered by concerns over his tendency to overwork. These attributes marked Tesla's professional life; an obsessively driven man, Tesla's gifts for invention were amply demonstrated and rewarded in the United States. As his ambitions grew in size and scope, Tesla was hailed as a visionary.

Alla fine del 19esimo secolo, l'elettricit non era altro che una semplice curiosit scientifica. Ma Nikola Tesla, pi di qualunque altro, cambi tutto. Le sue ricerche innovative nel dominio dell'elettricit non rappresentavano che una parte delle innovazioni scientifiche e tecniche che lo issano come un vera e propria divinit scientifica.Nikola Tesla, il Genio Prodigo tratta, inoltre, dell'ispirazione di Nikola Tesla della sua carriera d'ingegnere, lo sviluppo delle sue teorie sull'elettricit che andavano contro con le basi della scienza, esamina le sue relazioni amicali, indaga sulla delusione della storia del Nobel perso, e infine, spiega gli studi di Nikola Tesla sui fenomeni paranormali.Scritto dall'autore laureato del Premio Pulitzer, John J. O'Neill, Nikola Tesla, il Genio Prodigo ci porta nei dettagli della vita di uno dei pi grandi geni della nostra epoca.

Vor Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts blieb Elektrizit t allein ein wissenschaftliches Kuriosum. Nikola Tesla nderte dies wohl mehr als jeder Andere. Aber Teslas bahnbrechende Forschung in der Elektrizit tslehre stellt nur einen Teil der wissenschaftlichen und technischen Innovationen dar, die ihn zu einer wissenschaftlichen Gottheit erhoben. Nikola Tesla: Das verlorene Genie umfasst unter anderem die Geschichte von Teslas Inspiration f r seine Karriere im Ingenieurswesen; es zeigt seine Elektrizit tstheorien, die gegen die wissenschaftliche Welt verstie en, erforscht seine Freundschaften, untersucht die Geschichte des verlorenen Nobelpreises und erkl rt Teslas Erforschung des bernat rlichen. Geschrieben vom Pulitzer-Preistr ger John J. O'Neill, beschreibt Nikola Tesla: Das verlorene Genie in allen Einzelheiten das Leben eines der gr ten Genies unserer Zeit. Ein Band: 428 Seiten.

Before the turn of the 20th century, electricity remained a mere scientific curiosity. Nikola Tesla, arguably more than anyone else, changed that. But Tesla's pioneering research in electricity represents only a portion of the scientific and technical innovations that elevated him to science godhood. Prodigal Genius, The Extraordinary Life of Nikola Tesla covers, among other topics, the story of Tesla's inspiration for his career in engineering, shows his theories of electricity that went against the scientific establishment, explores his friendships, investigates the story of the lost Nobel Prize, and, dig into Tesla's own views of the paranormal. Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author John J. O'Neill, Prodigal Genius, The Extraordinary Life of Nikola Tesla details the life of one the greatest geniuses of our time.
