Nikola Tesla, pioneer of electrical engineering, was a close friend of Pulitzer Prize-winning author O'Neill, and here, O'Neill captures the man as a scientist and as a public figure, exploring: . how Tesla's father inspired his life in engineering . why Tesla clung to his theories of electricity in the face of opposition . how the shy but newly popular Tesla navigated the social life of New York in the gay 1890s . Tesla's friendship with Mark Twain . the story of Tesla's lost Nobel Prize . Tesla's dabblings in the paranormal . and much more. JOHN JOSEPH O'NEILL (b. 1889) also wrote Engineering the New Age and You and the Universe: What Science Reveals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47612289810583,"sku":"9781602067431","price":3222.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781602067431.webp?v=1775077027","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/prodigal-genius-the-life-of-nikola-tesla-9781602067431","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
