My Inventions and Other Writings by Nikola Tesla

3.0

In all honesty, I read this after reading a certain Oatmeal comic (http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla). Here, Samantha Hunt gives Tesla a beautiful introduction, and Tesla himself turns out to be as kooky as one would hope such a prolific scientist and inventor would be, with just enough narcissism to warrant the occasional eyeroll. I can't say I understand the Tesla coil any better now than I did before, or anything useful like that, but Tesla was funny in addition to being a genius, and I'm glad to have read some of his own stuff directly.
