书籍简介

古怪的工程师和发明家尼古拉·特斯拉 (Nikola Tesla) 的抒情传记。

尼古拉·特斯拉出生于午夜闪电风暴期间，成长为世界最为重要的电气发明家之一。但在接触电力之前，他还是个孩子，喜欢在塞尔维亚自家农场与动物玩耍。

特斯拉从小就是一个发明家，他的专利涵盖了从雷达和遥控技术到无线通信的方方面面。但他最伟大的发明是交流感应电机，它使用交流电 (AC) 来分配电力，并且至今仍是电力分配的标准。特斯拉对动物的热爱在他的一生中也始终如一，并因其对大自然最初的无线信使的奉献而被授予纽约的鸽子魅力。

以他的私人生活为背景探索他的开创性发明，A Life Electric以独特的方式向年轻读者介绍了尼古拉·特斯拉。Azadeh Westergaard 的抒情处女作为这位才华横溢的发明家的遗产注入了同情心和人性，而受人尊敬的插画家 Julia Sarda巧妙地将他带入了生活。

A lyrical biography of the eccentric engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla

"An elegant and enlightening look at a man who brightened the whole world." -Booklist, starred review

Born at the stroke of midnight during a lightning storm, Nikola Tesla grew up to become one of the most important electrical inventors in the world. But before working with electricity, he was a child who loved playing with the animals on his family's farm in Serbia.

An inventor since childhood, Tesla's patents encompassed everything from radar and remote-control technology to wireless communications. But his greatest invention was the AC induction motor, which used alternating currents ( AC) to distribute electricity and which remains the standard for electric distribution today. Tesla's love of animals also remained constant throughout his life and led to his anointment as the Pigeon Charmer of New York for his devotion to nature's original wireless messengers.

Exploring his groundbreaking inventions against the backdrop of his private life, A Life Electric introduces Nikola Tesla to young readers unlike ever before. Azadeh Westergaard's lyrical debut brings compassion and humanity to the legacy of the brilliant inventor, while the esteemed illustrator Julia Sarda deftly brings him to life.
