In Tesla: Man Out of Time, Margaret Cheney explores the brilliant and prescient mind of one of the 20th century's greatest researchers and inventors. Called a madman by his opponents, a genius by others, and an enigma by almost everyone, Nikola Tesla was, certainly, a trailblazing inventor who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming devices which were virtually without theoretical precedent. Tesla not only learned the rotating magnetic field - the basis of most alternating-current equipment - but also introduced us to the basics of robotics, computer systems, and missile science. Almost supernaturally gifted, unfailingly flamboyant and neurotic, Tesla was stressed by a range of compulsions and phobias and was fond of extravagant, visionary experimentations. He was also a popular man-about-town, respected by men as diverse as Mark Twain and George Westinghouse, and adored by scores of contemporary society beauties. From Tesla's years as a child in Yugoslavia to his loss of life in New York in the 1940s, Cheney paints a convincing human portrait and chronicles an eternity of discoveries that radically modified - and continue steadily to alter - the world in which we live. Tesla: Man Out of Time can be an in-depth look at the seminal accomplishments of the technological wizard and a thoughtful examination of the obsessions and eccentricities of the man behind the science.
