Tom has a book called Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla, which is not so much a biography as a collection of articles, lectures, and other items collected/edited by Thomas Martin, originally published in 1894 by the Electrical Engineer. The book is by Angriff Press, PO Box 2726, Hollywood CA, 90078. It seems to be a small press of some sort. Tom's read a lot about Tesla as part of his work at Virtual World for the centers and games. If we can find more to recommend, we will. If you want to borrow this book, let me know, we can arrange to ship it to you. I can scan the table of contents and send that to you via e-mail, if you want more information about the book. Diane Peters
Wow, that sounds fascinating! Also, rare. If I was researching a book, I'd take you up on the offer of a loan, with trepidation. As it is, I'm just looking for a decent biography of the man, since he's been dancing around the edges of a bunch of other non-fiction I've been reading lately, and I want to know him better.
You might check out the dramaturgy display for the fabulous Timeline Theatre (Chicago)production of "Tesla's Letters" (http://www.timelinetheatre.com/teslas_letters/TeslasLetters_LobbyDisplay.pdf). One of their sources was David Peat's 1997 book, "In Search of Nikola Tesla."
Bio's aren't really my cup of tea ...
