So, when Christopher brought up Nikola Tesla in his very first post on Fear of Lightning, it got me interested in learning more about the man behind alternating current. There is plenty of info out there on the Internet, widely available for free, but sometimes it's just nice to have a book in your hands... or on your computer or mobile device.
But who really wants to pay for eBooks?
Surprisingly, there's actually a lot of free public domain books out there in the digital world on Tesla himself and his work. Actually, there's a ton of them—too many to list. And a lot are straight from the man himself.
