DESCRIPTION:
The second printing of an exhaustive annotated bibliography of writings
by and about the inventor Nikola Tesla. The period covered is from 1884 through 1978 with
approximately 3,000 citations arranged in chronological order. At the time of its
creation, all earlier bibliographical efforts were merged. Periodical directories and
newspaper indexes were searched; complete runs of 23 serials were examined for content;
morgue files were examined for unindexed newspapers; Tesla's estate papers were examined
for reference to obscure published articles; clipping files in major institutional and
public libraries were examined. This work allows the user to follow the sequence of
Tesla's life, scientific discoveries, and accomplishments.

REVIEW:
"One of the best bibliographies I have seen on anyone. . . . Every Tesla buff should have
a copy. . . . If anyone had doubts about Tesla's contribution to radio and
electricity . . . this
should satisfy them. . . . (Antique Wireless Association Bulletin, December 1980)
