LEGACY: The Life of Nikola Tesla

by Norma Brody

A believer in limitless, free energy, Nikola Tesla changed the course of events worldwide. Even though he has been shuffled around in the annals of history and never given the accolades he deserves, it is time world history recognizes his importance in the scientific world and the world of electricity. He is the discoverer of alternating current, the father of robotics and wireless transmission. The patent office reversed Marconi's claim; and the world of today's electricity must recognize Nikola Tesla's contribution of alternating current and his success in winning The War of The Currents against Thomas A. Edison. The world owes him much for his visions, his struggles and his quest to make the world a better place for mankind.

Am citit Tesla și mașina cu energie cosmica. Dar n-am găsit-o pe Goodreads. Voi scrie la asta. O carte 📙 frumoasa dar cu termeni grei. Pentru 11-12-13 ani e perfecta sa o citiți. Ne arata viata grea a lui Nikola Tesla, născut în Serbia din câte îmi amintesc, în carte menține. Asa... Sa continuam, nimeni nu a putut spune dacă s-a născut pe 6 sau 7 iulie,1856. Carte ne povestește invențiile lui și viata lui. Va spun doar câțiva prieteni de ai lui, și după ce va voi spune, veți fi surprinși. El a fost prieten bun cu Mark Twain și cu Einstein. Restul cărții va las pe voi sa aflați ce s-a mai întâmplat. Merita citita. 4/5 steluțe. Mult succes la citit. Și... Fiți atenți când cititi, ca sunt termeni grei. Dar sunt bine explicați termenii. 😉

This is a biography about experiences that made Nikola Tesla the man he became.
You will get immersed in his childhood starting out from the very first person who opened his mind to possibilities. You find out through his experiences what led him to create his world-renowned inventions to this day.
I believe this book is an incredible read but could have been written in a better way. i am by no means an expert but I found parts of this biography to be hard to follow. The author did a good job at setting up the setting and giving you an idea of who he was and the people he had around him: down to their personalities'. All in all, it was still a splendid read and would do well with young adults. Older children I think would find better use of this book.

A very interesting take on the life of Nikola Tesla. The story adheres to a structured schedule in advancing time and takes the reader on a journey through history. To me, it felt as if I where watching a movie with the text as subtitles to my mind. I would highly recommend this book to Tesla fans and people who want to know more about the inventor of the 21st century.

The life of Nikola Tesla by Norma Brody is about Nikola Tesla's life. The book explains his ups like inventing the Tesla Coil and his downs like the time he lost the Nobel Prize. The book was interesting but I had to try to keep my self interested in some parts. I enjoyed reading about the life that he lived and about all the cool things he did.
