"Vivid, revelatory . . . the fullest account yet of Tesla as an entrepreneur, experimental physicist and inventor."--Publishers Weekly
"Wizard is a truly remarkable biography of a remarkable man. The expression 'ahead of his time' is used too loosely and too often today but in the case of Nikola Tesla 'ahead of his time' barely describes the genius of this man. Marc Seifer makes us understand not only the man but the times in which he lived."--Nelson DeMille
"A deep and comprehensive biography of a great engineer of early electrical science--likely to become the definitive biography. Highly recommended."--American Association for the Advancement of Science
"The story of one of the most prolific, independent, and iconoclastic inventors of his century is a fascinating one. . . . The author presents much new material . . . [and] bases his book on a large number of archival and primary sources. . . . Underneath the layers . . . the core of Seifer's book is a serious piece of scholarship."--Scientific American
