First post!
My book Prodigal genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla just came in yesterday. The book starts out with a series of interesting pictures. The first picture is of a giant building that resembles the NBA championship trophy. above this building there is text that says WorldWireless, then underneath the building it says return to Nikola Tesla 8 West 40 St., NY. This indicates that it was a sketch of something he was trying to achieve and did not want it lost. The next picture is a portrait of Tesla himself. The next picture is a newspaper cut out that states a fire destroyed mechanisms he had in this workshop that were of inestimable value. Next post I will discuss chapter 1 of this book.

It would be very interesting to see the pictures you were talking about. Could it be possible if you could upload the pictures to the blog?
ReplyDeleteWhat is this "NBA championship trophy" like object called?
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Does the book give a date for the fire?
I agree with Josh. I would be interested in seeing these pictures. I like how the beginning of the book shows pictures and newspaper articles. This book seems more personal with these things in them; sort of like a journal or diary...not an old boring book. (It would be cool to see the article too.)
ReplyDeleteNikola Tesla was a very interesting man who did many great things to better the world. His research was far beyond his time. Can't wait to read more about what you discover!
