Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Fitz James O’Brien, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Stanley G. Weinbaum.

 Best known for his research into the use of high-frequency alternating currents and wireless transmission, Nikola Tesla was a prolific inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist. Many of his ideas have found practical application in the modern world, and he continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination to this day.
 
 At the time it was first published in 1893, The Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla was considered the bible of electrical engineering and inspired generations of inventors. This volume, edited by Tesla’s contemporary, Thomas Commerford Martin, includes extensive discussion of Tesla’s early work and inventions and contains more than 300 illustrations that demonstrate the practical application of his ideas.
