Requests:  0 Summary:  Nikola Tesla was a man forever misunderstood. From his boyhood in what is present-day Croatia, where his father, a Serbian Orthodox priest, dismissed his talents, to his tumultuous years in New York City, where his heated rivalry with Thomas Edison yielded triumphs and failures, Tesla was both demonized and lionized. Tesla captures the whirlwind years of the dawn of the electrical age, when his flair for showmanship kept him in the public eye. For every successful invention--the alternating current electrical system and wireless communication among them--there were hundreds of others. But what of the man behind the image? Vladimir Pištalo reveals the inner life of a man haunted by the loss of his older brother, a man who struggled with flashes of madness and brilliance whose mistrust of institutional support led him to financial ruin. Tesla: A Portrait with Masks is an impassioned account of a visionary whose influence is still felt today.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Pistalo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Pistalo Missing Inventory   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Pistalo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction PISTALO Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Fiction Pistalo Claimed Returned 05/26/2015 Add Copy to MyList
