Simi Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 1, 2008

In Legacy: The Life of Nikola Tesla, author Norma Brody chronicles the amazing life and times of the scientist who brought alternating current to America.

While most readers are familiar with Thomas Edison, his scientist rival Nikola Tesla is not as widely known. Norma Brody seeks to change that by bringing Tesla’s accomplishments to the forefront with her fascinating new biography, Legacy: The Life of Nikola Tesla.

In his prestigious career, Nikola Tesla changed the course of science. The father of radar, robots and wireless transmissions, he challenged the theories of Edison by insisting that current could be alternating as well as direct. Winning the first contract to build a generating plant at Niagara Falls with George Westinghouse, Tesla also introduced robotics at the Chicago World Fair. A contemporary of Mark Twain and Albert Einstein, Tesla was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, yet his name is not always recognized and touted in classrooms and scientific circles.

In her book, Brody brings Tesla and his world to thrilling life, giving him the recognition he deserved, but may not have achieved in his lifetime. As entertaining as it is educational, Legacy: The Life of Nikola Tesla is a book for anyone who loves science, biographies, or who simply wants a page-turning read.
