Tesla, man out of time

From Tesla's childhood in Yugoslavia to his death in New York in the 1940s, Cheney paints a compelling human portrait and chronicles a lifetime of discoveries that radically altered -- and continue to alter -- the world in which we live. Tesla: Man Out of Time is an in-depth look at the seminal accomplishments of a scientific wizard and a thoughtful examination of the obsessions and eccentricities of the man behind the science.

  • "Biographie consacrée au scientifique et à ses découvertes dans les domaines du champ magnétique tournant, de la transmission d'électricité par courant alternatif, de la robotique, de l'énergie solaire, de la géothermie, etc. Mort dans la plus absolue pauvreté, il continue à inspirer les chercheurs et artistes du monde entier.--[Memento]."
  • "Biography of a great inventor and engineering developer of early electrical science known as the 'Grand Wizard of the West'. Tesla's work formed the basis of the modern cell phone, fluorescent light, neon signs, radio, television and radar, yet he died poor and almost forgotten."@en
  • "In Tesla: Man Out of Time, Margaret Cheney explores the brilliant and prescient mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest scientists and inventors. Called a madman by his enemies, a genius by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Nikola Tesla was, without a doubt, a trailblazing inventor who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming devices that were virtually without theoretical precedent. Tesla not only discovered the rotating magnetic field -- the basis of most alternating-current machinery -- but also introduced us to the fundamentals of robotics, computers, and missile science. Almost supernaturally gifted, unfailingly flamboyant and neurotic, Tesla was troubled by an array of compulsions and phobias and was fond of extravagant, visionary experimentations. He was also a popular man-about-town, admired by men as diverse as Mark Twain and George Westinghouse, and adored by scores of society beauties."
