520 |a A new biography of electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in the history of science. Tesla was a bundle of contradictions - a consummate showman and a private recluse; a man of science addicted to self-promotion; a prolific inventor of technologies that made other people's fortunes.
