Even the gods of old, in the wildest imaginings of their
worshipers, never undertook such gigantic tasks of world-wide
dimension as those which Tesla attempted and accomplished. -from
Chapter One First published in 1944 and long a favorite of Tesla
fans, this is a definitive biography of the man without whom modern
civilization would not exist. Nikola Tesla, pioneer of electrical
engineering, was a close friend of Pulitzer Prize-winning author
O'Neill, and here, O'Neill captures the man as a scientist and as a
public figure, exploring: . how Tesla's father inspired his life in
engineering . why Tesla clung to his theories of electricity in the
face of opposition . how the shy but newly popular Tesla navigated
the social life of New York in the gay 1890s . Tesla's friendship
with Mark Twain . the story of Tesla's lost Nobel Prize . Tesla's
dabblings in the paranormal . and much more. JOHN JOSEPH O'NEILL
(b. 1889) also wrote Engineering the New Age and You and the
Universe: What Science Reveals.
