Nikola Tesla helped create the electrical world we live in today. His pioneering work in alternating current, wireless communication, high-frequency electricity, motors, transformers, and artificial illumination transformed modern technology and continues to fascinate scientists, engineers, historians, and general readers.

Collected here are four of Tesla's most important works: A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers; Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination; The Problem of Increasing Human Energy; and My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla. Together, they reveal both the practical engineer who helped revolutionize electrical power and the visionary thinker who imagined new ways to transmit energy, communicate across great distances, and harness the forces of nature.

Featuring more than fifty original figures, diagrams, and technical illustrations, this substantial collection allows readers to study Tesla's ideas as they were meant to be presented. Four essential Tesla books are gathered in one convenient volume, offering an accessible and affordable introduction to the writings, discoveries, and remarkable life of one of history's most influential inventors.
