Description

Nikola Tesla was a brilliant inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue to use today. As a young boy, he was fascinated by science and numbers, but his irregular routines and love of playing cards led to him being kicked out of school before he could finish his exams. Despite this, he went on to make several clever innovations to electrical systems and eventually landed a job with Edison Machine Works in the United States. In the US, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him on to keep exploring electricity, leading to breakthroughs in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of his life, he had more than 300 patents for original and unique inventions, advancing scientific thought by a generation. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Tesla's life. The Little People, BIG DREAMS series offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, exploring the lives of outstanding people who achieved incredible things despite beginning life with a dream.
