Edison's Kinetoscope And Its Films, Vol. 65
My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla
By: Nikola Tesla
Narrated by: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr.
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I have always been interested in Tesla and his life/inventions. He is very strange, intelligent, and someone far ahead of his time. In this book, Tesla tells all about what goes on in his head, which sometimes is very weird. He tells about his life, how his inventions came to him, and how his inventions helped save his life. He tells his encounters with famous people, his brush with death which was more than once, and future ideas.
If he could only know how much his inventions have changed the world he would be so happy. He died poor and alone. We can do so much now because of him and few realize that. Good book.
He also looks like what my grandfather looked like when he was young..:)
The narrator sounds like what I would picture Telsa would sound like. He was wonderful!
