From the possibilities presented by robotics to the "civilizing potency of aluminum," from a "self-acting engine" to one of the first proposals to use solar power to run industrial civilization, and much more, this is a wide-ranging but illuminating look into the thoughts of an unsung hero of scientific philosophy. Review: Best...book...ever! - i just LOVE Tesla, and this book does not disappoint! It might be hard to read for those whose diction doesn't match that of our late, great nikola, but it's well worth the effort, for sure. It's hard to believe he first published this 122 years ago, because it is even more relevant (and needed) now, than then. It's a shame they don't teach kids much, if anything, about him in public school. i'm in my 60's and had no idea who he was in 2012, when i first heard his name. i began researching him then, and am still fascinated by his brilliant mind. i only wish i could've met him, interviewed him and picked that magnificent mind of his. ❤ Review: A must read for any futurist, philanthropist, or anyone interested in sustainable energy. - Tesla poignantly describes the forces retarding the fundamental issues of our times in this brilliant, yet concise, analysis. He breaks human advancement into mathematical terms and identifies what he believes to be the chief humanitarian issues hindering progress of humans as a species. From ignorance, to clean water, restoring nutrition to our food, and sustainable energy production, Tesla describes fundamental concerns that are as true now as they were a century ago. *(With given exception of his approach to coal, as this was one notable limitation of the advancements in his day.) A must read for any futurist or philanthropist intested in the success of humanity in the 21st century. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,736,181 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #161 in Physics of Electricity #1,361 in Scientist Biographies #2,114 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 493 Reviews | ## Images ![The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: With Special Reference to the Harnessing of the Sun's Energy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PGxQSTcKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A keen insight into the mind of a man who had no grasp of physics whatsoever. *by M***R on January 18, 2025* You can't make an argument about Tesla without actually looking at what he wrote. This book shows just how little he understood physics. He was right about AC over DC, but I doubt he was right about anything else. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A look at our world written in1900 by N. Tesla *by J***I on October 3, 2024* a view of how Tesla saw our world ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best...book...ever! *by G***H on March 14, 2022* i just LOVE Tesla, and this book does not disappoint!
