商品描述：

尼古拉·特斯拉是电气革命的主要贡献者，电气革命改变了20世纪初人们的日常生活。他的发明、专利和理论工作奠定了现代交流电力的基础，并促进了广播和电视的发展。和他的竞争对手托马斯·爱迪生一样，特斯拉是美国最早的著名科学家之一，他享受着纽约上流社会的相伴，并以他的电子演示令马克·吐温等人惊叹不已。作为一个精明的自我推销者和天才的表演者，他塑造了一个古怪天才的公众形象。即使在他生命的最后时刻，生活在贫困之中，特斯拉仍然吸引着记者们来参加他的年度生日采访，用他发明了一种能够击落敌机的粒子束武器来逗他们开心。

很多传记都对特斯拉和他的怪癖进行了美化，但直到现在都没有人仔细研究过他发明了什么、怎么发明的以及为什么发明的。在这本开创性的书中，W·伯纳德·卡尔森揭开了这位传奇发明家的神秘面纱，将他置于他所处的时代的文化和技术背景中，并专注于他的发明本身以及他的名人创造和维护。卡尔森从特斯拉私人和公共生活的原始文件中，展示了他如何成为一个“理想主义者”发明家，他寻求伟大的想法或原则的完美实验实现，并巧妙地通过制造神话和幻想将他的发明卖给公众。

这本重要的传记向我们展示了特斯拉创新的远见卓识，以及他最重要的技术突破背后的商业策略。

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the twentieth century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius. Even at the end of his life when he was living in poverty, Tesla still attracted reporters to his annual birthday interview, regaling them with claims that he had invented a particle-beam weapon capable of bringing down enemy aircraft.

Plenty of biographies glamorize Tesla and his eccentricities, but until now none has carefully examined what, how, and why he invented. In this groundbreaking book, W. Bernard Carlson demystifies the legendary inventor, placing him within the cultural and technological context of his time, and focusing on his inventions themselves as well as the creation and maintenance of his celebrity. Drawing on original documents from Tesla's private and public life, Carlson shows how he was an "idealist" inventor who sought the perfect experimental realization of a great idea or principle, and who skillfully sold his inventions to the public through mythmaking and illusion.

This major biography sheds new light on Tesla's visionary approach to invention and the business strategies behind his most important technological breakthroughs.
