3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed blessing - Fabulous Read - Poor Print, August 30, 2007

By	Data Scourge "reality challenger" (Pennsylvania, US) - See all my reviews

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+!

This review is from: The Problem of Increasing Human Energy (Paperback)

I found this piece of writing and other non technical works by Tesla invaluable when doing essays on creative thinking and problem solving. Tesla was good at describing how he did his thinking.

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.
