In my childhood, the inventor we learned the most about was Edison. These days, Tesla is serving that role. Dockery shows us Tesla's brilliant mind, his determination, and his social innocence, his tendency to think only of the common good rather than his own interest. We follow him from childhood to his career in the United States. While the main text is simple and easy to understand, there are sidebars that explore some concepts in more detail and a fairly comprehensive glossary explores vocabulary terms. With utterly charming line drawings, it's compelling to read and a joy just to look at.
