For years, this engineering genius was relegated to relative obscurity, with his contributions to humanity obscured by a number of nineteenth-century inventors and industrialists who took credit for his work or outright stole his patents. Recently, the historical record has been \"corrected,\" and Tesla has been restored to his rightful place among historical luminaries like Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Gugliemo Marconi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost biographies repeat the familiar account of Tesla's life, including his invention of alternating current, his falling out with Edison, how he lost billions in patent royalties to Westinghouse, and his fight to prove that Marconi stole 13 of his patents to \"invent\" radio. But what really happened?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsider this: Everything you think you know about Nikola Tesla is wrong. Newly uncovered information proves that the popular account of Tesla's life is itself very flawed. In \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Tesla\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher Cooper sets out to prove that the conventional story not only oversimplifies history, it denies credit to some of the true inventors behind many of the groundbreaking technologies now attributed to Tesla and perpetuates a misunderstanding about the process of innovation itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAre you positive that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone? Are you sure the Wright Brothers were the first in flight? Think again! With a provocative foreword by Tesla biographer Marc J. Seifer, \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Tesla\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the first books to set the record straight, tracing the origin of some of the greatest electrical inventions to a coterie of colourful characters that conventional history has all but forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855287537900,"sku":"9780785840596","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5a3dc663c9543779799772bc64ea574e.jpg?v=1759279160"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/christopher-cooper.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
