Learn moreWritten by Nikola Tesla at the age of sixty-three, this autobiography is a fascinating glimpse into the interior life of a man who may have contributed more to the fields of electricity, radio, and television than any other person living or dead, a man certainly possessed of genius, and one who some consider the most important man of the twentieth century.
My Inventions is a firsthand account not only of the art and science behind the conception, execution, and reception of Tesla’s most famous inventions but of his early life and first creative efforts as well. History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever dared to dream big will be thrilled to hear this engaging, informative, and uniquely humorous autobiography.
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the development of the alternating-current electrical system, which made the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible. His invention of the induction motor underlies the modern electrical power industry.
Sean Runnette, an Earphones Award–winning narrator, has also directed and produced more than two hundred audiobooks, including several Audie Award winners. He is a member of the American Repertory Theater company and has toured the United States and internationally with ART and Mabou Mines. His television and film appearances include Two If by Sea, Cop Land, Sex and the City, Law & Order, the award-winning film Easter, and numerous commercials.
Reviews
“[The] father of radio and of modern power transmission and generation.”
“Contrary to popular belief, Gugliemo Marconi is not responsible for radio as we know it. And Thomas Alva Edison was not the one to bring reliable electrical currents into homes and industries. Instead it was the work of Nikola Tesla, now a virtual unknown, that catapulted the world into the future.”
“No one knows of Tesla, yet his work has changed all our lives…The high-tech conveniences we take for granted—the cellular phone and television, for example—would not exist without Tesla.”
