Описание: "The story of one of the most prolific, independent, and iconoclastic inventors of this century . . . fascinating."--Scientific American Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology. Among Tesla's creations were the channeling of alternating current, fluorescent and neon lighting, wireless telegraphy, and the giant turbines that harnessed the power of Niagara Falls. This essential biography is illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including the July 20, 1931, Time magazine cover for an issue celebrating the inventor's career. "Wizard is a truly remarkable biography of a remarkable man. The expression 'ahead of his time' is used too loosely and too often today but in the case of Nikola Tesla 'ahead of his time' barely describes the genius of this man. Marc Seifer makes us understand not only the man but the times in which he lived."--Nelson DeMille "A deep and comprehensive biography of a great engineer of early electrical science--likely to become the definitive biography. Highly recommended."--American Association for the Advancement of Science "Vivid, revelatory . . . the fullest account yet of Tesla as an entrepreneur, experimental physicist and inventor."--Publishers Weekly

It`s an eventful month for Jamie Kelly. Stinker and Stickybuns` litter of puppies has arrived -- which makes Jamie and her nemesis Angeline "in-laws by dog." Ugh.
Jamie`s class at Mackerel Middle School is doing a unit on journal-writing, and someone`s diary falls into the wrong hands.
But worst of all, Angeline and Isabella are becoming . . . friends.
Dear Dumb Diary,
It`s not my fault I know everything.
Okay, I don`t know where Timbuktu is, but I refuse to know that. Even if somebody told me, I would flush my brain like a thought-potty and wave goodbye to Timbuktu as it swirled down my brain hole.
I know everything that I WANT to know.

Описание: This graphic retelling of Nikola Tesla`s story gives children a visual snapshot of his life and the world in which he grew up.
In the years Nikola Tesla and Francesca Thoman have worked together, they have encountered several other afterlife personalities, both famous and unknown. In this Award Winning book, Nikola Tesla shares what he has learned from these other spirits, who are eager to communicate the wisdom they have discovered since their deaths. Offering numerous delightfully rich articles with thoughtful, deep and creative information, a panoply of writers, composers, shamans, scientists, Suffragettes, statesmen and several others, including some Nikola Tesla knew in his previous life, have shared what they wish with him.
Following Nikola Tesla's lead, Francesca also presents the wisdom of several deceased personalities, channeling them directly so that their personalities come through even more clearly. Covering a wide range of subjects from the Civil War to the New Earth Music, several other personalities step forward with a great deal to say that is of interest to our present times. This book is a special opportunity to enjoy the views and wisdom of those passed from life into history and are still interested in what is happening on Earth now.
