Quotes

“[The] father of radio and of modern power transmission and generation.” New York Times on the author

“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.” New York Times on the author

“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.” Dr. Marc Seifer, author of Wizard, on the author
