A mixed blessing - Fabulous Read - Poor Print,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Problem of Increasing Human Energy (Paperback)
This is a very badly reproduced reprint of the article written by Tesla from Century Magazine. The entire document looks like a cheap photocopy and the contrast of the photographs makes them useless as a reference. The booklet contains ~38 pages of Tesla's musings which show him a man ahead of his time in 1900. The rest of the book (over 1/2) is a collection of "Mystical Drawings" also badly reproduced. Kessinger Publishing spared all expense in throwing this document together and did not give this visionary, his philosophies, nor his predictions the deserved treatments.
Due to the poor quality of the text and photos, I give it a 1 but the author a 5+!

Tesla the unsung hero,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Problem of Increasing Human Energy (Paperback)
As I learn more about Tesla, I have come to realize that Edison and his supporters have done this genious a great wrong. Much of our electric comforts and wonders are founded in the aspiration of Tesla, not Edison. This book will provide insight to the depth of the man, but it alone can not encompass Tesla's true genious. I would recommend reading some background info on Tesla prior to develing into this work.

Solving a Problem With No Easy Solution,

This review is from: The Problem of Increasing Human Energy (Paperback)
This book offers a great insight into the mind of one of the geniuses of all time. Tesla converts how we reach enlightenment (increasing human energy) into a mathematical equation and shows how we can achieve that end.
He discusses how to end war, or the wasteful use of human energy, a negative force, to how to obtain positive energy cheaply, to energy transmission throughout the planet. Like most of the ancient philosophers, he was both a man of science and a man of religion and spiritualism. The only downside to the book is that he refers to drawings of some of his experiments, but there are none in the book. It would have been nice to see these, no matter what the quality. It is short, 80 pages, and an easy, worthwhile read.
