This volume presents one of the richest and most comprehensive collections of writings by Nikola Tesla, a founding figure of the modern electrical power industry and long-time rival of Thomas Edison. Included is Teslas autobiography, My Inventions, and the lengthy philosophical essay The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: With Special Reference to the Harnessing of the Suns Energy, as well as a series of lectures: A New System of Alternate Current Motors and Transformers, On Electricity, and more. About the Author Inventor Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) emigrated to the United States from his native Croatia in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison. He contributed to the development of the alternating-current electrical system, which made the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible. George Westinghouse purchased the patents to Teslas induction motor and made it the basis of the Westinghouse power system, which underlies the modern electrical power industry.
