Tesla?

[hollyking]

After watching The Prestige last night I would like to read more about Nikola Tesla. The problem is there are lots of books out there and I’m sure there are a lot of crappy ones. Does anyone have some recommended books about Tesla and his works?

Thanks!

Everything I know about Tesla, I learned from Spider Robinson (http://www.spiderrobinson.com/calkeyreview.html).

We saw The Prestige, too. It was cool (I got the one twist early enough on but didn't get the last one till Tom told me--the last scene at the prison) but there weren't any really relatable main characters. LOVED David Bowie, though.

Who wants to relate to a bunch of damaged people like that? ;)

I'm in the same boat. The Wiki Page is a pretty good place to start, I would think.

The one that's written in green ink, and claims that tesla was a martian? Stay away from that one.

Thanks for the tip. We both know how flaky those martians can be.

You know Tesla was responsible for the Tunguska Event. He was aiming for St. Petersburg and missed.

I read that recently... The same book expounded on the German Flying Saucer technology that almost won used to win WWII.
