Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Dated 5/1/97, inscribed & signed (well, it's a scribble -- they no longer teach penmanship in the schools) by author Th. Metzger. 1-3/4-inch soft diagonal crease to bottom corner of front wrap. In a special building at the electrically illuminated Chicago World's Fair of 1893, Nikola Tesla was the hero of the age, "seen receiving through his hands currents of more than 200,000 volts, . . . manifesting themselves in dazzling streams of light. . . In Sing Sing, Dannemora, Auburn, prisoners waited in cages to be strapped into a chair, killed, and quickly forgotten. But Tesla stood before awed crowds, a tall gaunt man who played with the basic constituents of nature, like a shaman or priest. Celebrated as the greatest electrical genius of his century, he was transformed by the same "godlike power" which, in secret basement chambers, cooked prisoners to death, nameless sacrificial animals." 191 pp. including Notes and Bibliography. Reduced from $33. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 012302
