Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • TERRIBLE BOOK ! ! !

    VERY poorly written. Even with my background in electronics and mathematics I could not grasp the concepts of his inventions. Sure, his work in electricity and motors was revolutionary, but for god's sake, the guy neither describes how the stuff works, nor how he worked on it. Instead he provides abstract mental pictures, and what he claims were "realistic experiments" that he was running in his head during sleepless nights. Tesla comes off like a psychopath recollecting his childhood fantasies and hallucinations. Not a single formula/sketch in the book. His later, more controversial work is described as well, and it's completely not grounded in reality, neither! Zeppelins equipped with million-volt generators flying over battlefields and cities, killing soldiers and citizens in time of ...
