"The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla" by Thomas Commerford Martin is a comprehensive compilation published in 1894 documenting Tesla's pioneering electrical research through 1893. This forty-three-chapter volume captures the inventor's groundbreaking work in polyphase currents, high-potential lighting, and experimental apparatus that would shape electrical engineering for decades. Once considered the "bible" of practicing electrical engineers, the book presents Tesla's revolutionary ideas through detailed illustrations and transcripts of his influential lectures and demonstrations.
