Review: Short and to the Point
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 28, 2013
This was an excellent read. The author keeps the book short and to the point, avoiding many of the extraneous details that tend to clutter up popular biographies of modern heroes. The work focuses solely on Tesla's scientific achievements rather than on his personal life, or his education. This is used not only to discuss the traits of what creates the great innovators of our times but, to point out that Thomas A. Edison was not the only scientist working on the development of electricity as a means of providing light and power to the common people. Overall this book deserves 5 stars. I would recommend this to any reader interested in the sciences or the inventions of the late 19th and 20th century but, this book seems specifically suited for middle and high school science classes.
