Review:It is a very well researched book. The language Carlson used is very easy to understand. He had used many Tesla's letters as the backbone of his chapters. The technical issues may be difficult for most to understand. But, what can one expect? Tesla was an inventor.

Carlson did not shy away from the shortcomings of Tesla. He painted an accurate account of Tesla. Good or bad. Tesla is a person. Unlike authorised biography, it is frank. Read more

Review:His ideas truly changed our world.We would never have our modern electrical distributuion with Edison's short sighted DC distribution ideas.However he spent too much of his book on on his brain and its flashes. Read more

Review:a good and informative read. well written and very interesting without recourse to technological bamboozlement. there are other books available with a more technical bent if that's what you're interested in, however if you want a portrait of the man himself then this is as good a place as any to look. the kind of book that will encourage further study.

Review:I picked up this book because I am quite interested in psychiatry and the development of psychosis.

Unfortunately, for me, ""The Psychopath Test" did not pass my readability test. The pace is meandering, and the cases sited are not as interesting as others in books about Borderline Personality Disorder or Narcissism.

Maybe it's only because it's summer, and I should be looking for beach reads, but Jon Ronson's book just did not hit the spot for me at this time. Read more

Review:Author A.E. Hotchner (1920-) a notable Hemingway scholar and biographer enjoyed a 14 year friendship with Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), he would earn Hemingway's trust and become a confidant. "Hemingway in Love: His Own Story" is a good engaging read complete with personal photos. Hotchner, was also friends with Hemingway's widow Mary Welch (1908-1986) explains the delay in revealing this story was out of respect for her.

In the early 1960's there was much stigma related to mental illness... Read more

Review:This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the Space Race of the 1950's, into the little known contribution made by the one woman on the engineering team that sent the first U.S. satellite into orbit.

George Morgan's mother became singularly, almost pathologically, uncommunicative after she retired from North American Aviation. So her son had to reconstruct her life from the relatively few remaining sources available to him. He had to reverse engineer it, so to speak, probably invent... Read more

Review:Felicia Day is one of those people who is famous for all the right reasons. She's smart, witty and just has that enduring presence that makes you feel right with the world.

Reading her story was most enlightening. I don't want to got into spoilers here but I will just simply say that she's just as weird as the rest of us.

So many celebrities seem less real and approachable, Felicia is not like that at all and this book really opens up her world to the rest of us.

I am still... Read more

Review:Contrarian investment guru Doug Casey used to say, "You know the time to dump an investment is when it makes the cover of Time Magazine." I don't rememeber if it was 2004 or 2005 when Time's cover story was "Will Your House Make You Rich?" Casey was right, the time had come to get out of real estate, although profiting from that move was as treacherous as playing a game of high stakes craps in a casino used to fleecing its players.

In a story revealing one man's prescience about the hou... Read more
