Inspiring book -- great for kids or adults!
Von Kins Collins
I read this book in April 1945, just after it first appeared. A fantastically inspiring book for me, then a 14-year-old would-be genius. It nourished me intellectually and emotionally for five years -- until I outgrew it. The author was science editor for the New York Herald Tribune, but like so many Tesla enthusiasts today, was uncritical of Tesla's theoretical ideas, neither recasting them in today's language of physics, nor criticizing them where they are clearly wrong (or wrong-headed). Still, it's a book scientifically-oriented folks should read.

Von Ein Kunde
If you've never read anything by or about Tesla, or even ifyou've only read his technical writings, here's the book that willanswer your questions about Tesla. Written from the point of view of someone who knew him, Prodigal Genius gives an amazing glimpse into the personality of this remarkable inventor. There are lengthy passages about his childhood and early career including how he got cheated out of $20,000 for inventing alternating current. There are also thought-provoking stories about how some of his inventions backfired and almost shook down a city block or two! Even if you're not a Tesla nut, Prodigal Genius is a great read--it's exciting enough that it's hard to put down. If you weren't a Tesla nut when you picked it up, you will be when you put it down!

Von Ein Kunde
Having only seen a small intro on the local public television station about this person really sparked my interest. This book lays out all the information on Nikola Tesla. I liked it very much and my 16 year old did a school book report and liked it also.
