My collection of Books, Videos, and other information
regarding Nikola Tesla...1/1/1996

1. Tesla...Man Out of Time- Margaret Cheney This was one of the first books I purchased about Tesla.I often loan it to the non-Tesla person. I think it packs a wealth of information about him between the pages.

2. Tesla...-Tad Wise This biographical novel, while about Tesla, is in my opinion too much of what Tad Wise thinks went on in that time of Tesla.

3. The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla...-Jim Glenn The ability to turn to each page of Tesla's patents and SEE what he did is amazing. I read this one a lot.

4. The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla- A thick book with lots insight to many of Tesla's ideas and inventions.

5. Nikola Tesla...Life Work of a Genius-Tesla Memorial Society This is a little book I got when I joined the Tesla Memorial Society. It is full of personal recollections from people that knew Tesla. I refer to it a lot.

6. The Tesla Journal...The Tesla Memorial Society journal. This one is also full of short articles about Tesla. I wish The Memorial Society would catch up with a new one.

7. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy...-Nikola Tesla This is a small format paperback. I read it a lot. Tesla's intelligence and truly profound ideas about life, science and society will prove to anyone his Genius!

8. Tesla Coil Secrets...-R.A. Ford An interesting book of experiments and diagrams to make or improve and understand the Tesla Coil.

9. Tesla...The Lost Inventions-George Trinkaus A very small, 33 pages, paperback with interesting ideas concerning some of Tesla's patents.

10. Tesla...Experiments with Alternating Currents of High Potential and High Frequencies- Nikola Tesla In Tesla's own words, a lecture before electrical engineers in London. Very informative with a few pictures and diagrams.

11. Case Judgment of the US Supreme Court October Term 1942- Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of the US vs United States What I thought would be the smoking gun proving Tesla was in fact the Father of radio. While it does, a person has to read between the lines of what the judges were saying. Pretty good.

12. Journals from the International Tesla Society. I have a couple years of these journals along with the newer Extraordinary Science magazines. They are all good and each will have a bit of interesting Tesla reading.

VIDEOS:

1. Nikola Tesla... The Genius Who Lit The World- Tesla Memorial Society This is a VERY good documentary style video I bought from the Tesla Memorial Society. It is full of Tesla information with some video shot at the Tesla Museum in Belgrade.

2. The Secret Life of Nikola Tesla A movie with Orson Wells as J.P. Morgan. It is difficult to follow unless the viewer knows the story of Tesla before hand. If that's the case it is pretty good. The problem with it is that it jumps around a lot within the timeline. Hard to follow. I wish someone would make a new movie about him. I think it's TIME!

3. Electromagnetic Energy...Neither Wave nor Particle -Larry Spring Whilst this video isn't about Tesla, I mention it because I Think Mr. Spring is on to something that all the physics teachers missed. He proves that EME is spherical! Very Good.

MISCELLANEOUS:

1. FBI file on Nikola Tesla...My Freedom of Information request for Nikola Tesla's FBI file. While it took almost two years to get these 252 pages from the FBI, I can't say they are dazzling. There are some really interesting pages about some bizarre happenings. I was disappointed at the overall amount of new information.

2. Summary of Relevant Information from Nikola Tesla's FBI File- This is a yet unfinished summary that I have made from the Tesla FBI Files.

3. Various newspaper articles, $500 Dinara note with Tesla on it, US Postage Stamp with Tesla, First Day of Issue US Post Card with Tesla and Philo T. Farnsworth on it. And a stack of lesser important stuff!
