Electrical Wizard: Candlewick Biographies: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up the World

â‚¬Å“An engaging volume that will encourage both budding scientists and anyone intrigued by the creative process.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Â Kirkus Reviews

Here is the story of the ambitious young man who brought life-changing ideas to America, despite the obstructive efforts of his hero-turned-rival, Thomas Edison. From using alternating current to light up the Chicago Worldâ‚¬s Fair to harnessing Niagara Falls to electrify New York City and beyond, Nikola Tesla was a revolutionary ahead of his time. Established biographer Elizabeth Rusch sheds light on this extraordinary figure, while fine artist Oliver Dominguez brings his life and inventions to vivid color. Back matter includes additional information about Tesla, scientific notes and explanations, source notes, a bibliography, and suggestions for further reading.
