People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Nikola Tesla, the
scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue
to use today. Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian
Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers
knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and
fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school
before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a
spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several
clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a
job with Edison Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United
States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him
on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several
groundbreaking inventions during this time, including breakthroughs
in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of
his life, the brilliant inventor had more than 300 patents for
original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought
by a generation. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical
timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the
