The 'Collected Writings of Nikola Tesla,' meticulously assembled by Thomas Commerford Martin, spans a formidable array of subjects that Tesla explored through his lifelong engagement with science, technology, and metaphysics. This anthology not only captures the diverse literary styles employed by Teslaranging from scientific treatises to speculative essaysbut also encapsulates the dynamic intersection of electrical engineering, physics, and visionary thought that characterized the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each piece within this collection, be it Tesla's reflections on his rivalry with Edison or his forward-looking discussions on wireless technology, stands as testament to his genius and foresight. The collaborative effort of Nikola Tesla, a pioneering inventor, and Thomas Commerford Martin, a prominent electrical engineer and writer, embodies an era brimming with innovation and theoretical advancement. The anthology navigates the cultural and technological zeitgeist of its time, synthesizing the contributions of two luminary figures who not only witnessed but also shaped the course of electrical engineering and scientific exploration. Their shared engagement with emerging technologies and theoretical physics offers readers a window into the intellectual and cultural currents that fueled the Second Industrial Revolution and the early modernist period. For enthusiasts of science, history, and literature alike, this collection presents an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the visionary mind of Nikola Tesla as curated by Thomas Commerford Martin. Readers are invited to traverse the breadth of Teslas thought and innovations, experiencing the depth of his insights into electricity, energy, and the future of humanity. Its a compelling invitation to explore how these writings, so essential to understanding the past, continue to influence and inspire the trajectory of technological advancement and scientific inquiry today.

In Collected Tesla Writings are over 70 scientific papers and articles by Nicola Tesla and others about Tesla's work primarily in the field of electrical engineering including; Famous Scientific Illusions, My Inventions, The Tesla Effects With High Frequency and High Potential Currents, and Death-Ray Machine Described. The original images, photos and comments have been preserved. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Tesla's patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio.

Tesla jolts and flows between the extraordinary life of the inventor Nikola Tesla, the making of a feature film about him by the celebrated director Michael Almereyda, and episodes from the filmmaker's own restless, quixotic career. In these pages, we encounter Tesla's colleagues and friends intermingling with Almereyda's collaborators and influences: Thomas Edison and David Lynch, Mark Twain and Sam Shepard, Sarah Bernhardt and Ethan Hawke, J.P. Morgan and Orson Welles. A rich array of illustrations - vintage and personal photographs, film stills, drawings and comic-book art - enhance the sense of time travel and parallel histories, as we read of a scheme to transmit wireless energy through the earth, of the electrocution of an elephant, of fortunes made and surrendered, and of the obsessions that propel a scientist seeking to transform the world and a director seeking to make a movie.
