Unusual recounting of Tesla's Life and Work Nov 10, 2008
By Laura Faeth
"author of I Found All the Parts: Healing the Soul through Rock 'n Roll"
Norma Brody's description of Tesla's life actually struck me as a good way to introduce younger people to his life and work. Written in a simple, present tense style, Brody offers an overview of Tesla's life starting in Yugoslavia. Here she emphasizes on the factors that influenced his life, such as the death of his older brother Dane when he was only five years old.
I'd recommend this book to middle-school students on up who want to get to know about Tesla, but this book is not comprehensive or in-depth about the science behind his work. Some chapters left me wanting additional information about this amazing man's life and contribution to society, which is why I think the book is best as an introduction to Tesla, especially for younger readers.

 Tesla's inventions became components of many of today's essential technologies Aug 14, 2008
By Midwest Book Review
The best man doesn't always win. "Legacy: The Life of Nikola Tesla" is an examination of Tesla's important contributions to modern science, even though in life he was constantly overshadowed by Thomas Edison. Tesla's inventions became components of many of today's essential technologies such as radar, wireless technology, alternating current, and more. A well informed look at a man who shouldn't be forgotten just because he wasn't the better businessman, "Legacy: The Life of Nikola Tesla" is a must for anyone interested in the human behind the science.

The other reviews were for my book LEGACY: The Life of Nikola Tesla, which was originally downloaded in error on this title.
This book THOUGHTS ON THINKING has given me excellent feedback from medical professionals. I hope you enjoy reading it.]

Excellent quick biography Jan 28, 2011
By K. Mclean
"KM"
This book was an excellent short and enjoyable to read biography of Nikola Tesla. I bought it specifically for use by my 8th grader for a book review of a biography of an important historical figure. It was not only excellent for that, but inspired us parents to read it and then to learn more about Tesla.
