Tesla : a portrait with masks : a novel / by Pištalo, Vladimir,1960-author.(CARDINAL)681596; Jeffries, John,translator.(CARDINAL)720008; Rakić, Bogdan,translator.(CARDINAL)635480;
Nikola Tesla was a man forever misunderstood. From his boyhood in what is present-day Croatia, where his father, a Serbian Orthodox priest, dismissed his talents, to his tumultuous years in New York City, where his heated rivalry with Thomas Edison yielded triumphs and failures, Tesla was both demonized and lionized. Tesla captures the whirlwind years of the dawn of the electrical age, when his flair for showmanship kept him in the public eye. For every successful invention--the alternating current electrical system and wireless communication among them--there were hundreds of others. But what of the man behind the image? Vladimir Pištalo reveals the inner life of a man haunted by the loss of his older brother, a man who struggled with flashes of madness and brilliance whose mistrust of institutional support led him to financial ruin. Tesla: A Portrait with Masks is an impassioned account of a visionary whose influence is still felt today.

Albert Einstein. "Recounts the life of the scientist whose theories of relativity revolutionized the way we look at space and time." --Marie Curie. "Born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was forbidden to attend the male-only University of Warsaw, so she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study physics and mathematics. There she met a professor named Pierre Curie, and the two soon married, forming one of the most famous scientific partnerships in history. Together they discovered two elements and won a Nobel Prize in 1903. (Marie later won another Nobel for chemistry in 1911.) She died in Savoy, France, on July 4, 1934, a victim of many years of exposure to toxic radiation."--Nikola Tesla. "Presents the life and accomplishments of the Croatian-born engineer who developed alternating-current technology and invented the radio." --Accelerated ReaderReading Counts RCAccelerated Reader AR
