Thomas Commerford Martin & Nikola Tesla 
Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla [EPUB ebook] 
Including Tesla’s Autobiography

The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla is a book compiled by Thomas Commerford Martin detailing the work of Nikola Tesla through 1893. The book is a comprehensive compilation of Tesla’s pioneering activities, research, and works. The book contains 43 chapters, most of them on different areas of Tesla’s research and inventions by Tesla. The ideas and inventions are conveyed in their own way, determining by their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the fact that Tesla blazed a path that electrical development would later follow for years to come, the compiler of the book endeavored to bring together all of Tesla’s work up to that point in Tesla’s life. Aside from indicating the range of his thought and originality of his mind, the book has historical value because it describes the scope of Tesla’s early inventions. Tesla is recognized as one of the foremost electrical researchers and inventors and, at the time of publication, the book was the ‘bible’ of every electrical engineer practicing the profession.

He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures.
