About this title: "The progressive development of man is virtually dependent on invention. It is the most important product of his creative brain." Nikola Tesla, uncelebrated oracle of the electronic age without whom our telephone, radio, automobile ignition, and television would have been unrealized, was born in Croatia in 1856.

"Find out about Nikola Tesla's life through his own words. You can feel his passion for invention and engineering in his narration. Slightly dramatic, but very inspiring, representation of Tesla's mind and adventures."
"The man doesn't age! There are photos of him from about 18 to 66 and he looks the exact same! He could also design, build and test machines inside his head -- if a single part was out of balance he would know before he ever put it together. Plus he masters the forces of the universe, created wireless electricity and speaks to you in that crazed early 20th century mad professor talk."
"Wow what a mind, both original and creative. Explains how we have come to the technology we enjoy today, but also shows how things could be so much better, Farsighted philosopher who foresaw the good and bad of his inventions. A must read for anyone who wants to know by what stepping stones we have arrived at where we are today"
