Guess I'll have to wait until it makes it into the library to read that
one. Someone got it already. Sounds like an interesting book though.

Today I was able to submit my book about the inventor and scientific pioneer Nikola Tesla. It is an interesting biography, and I read and edited it, so it shouldn't be a difficult validation. It is called Tesla: Man Out of Time, and is by Margaret Cheney.
Here is a little bit of the book jacket info to spark your interest.
Called a madman by some, a genius by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Nikola Tesla was possibly the greatest inventor the world has ever known. He was, without doubt, a trail blazer who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming, devices that often were virtually without theoretical precedent.
Now, Margaret Cheney has at last written the definitive in-depth biography of this astonishing figure. From Tesla's childhood in Yugoslavia to his death in New York in the 1940's, Cheney both paints a compelling human portrait and chronicles a lifetime of discoveries that radically altered-and continue to alter-the world we live in. And for the first time, she casts important light on one of the central mysteries associated with Tesla-the whereabouts of the famous "missing scientific papers" that vanished at the time of the inventor's death. TESLA is a riveting journey into the mind and life of the eccentric wizard who was Edison's enemy, Mark Twain's friend, J.P. Morgan's client, and hero and mentor to many of the 20th century's most famous scientists.
