John W. Wagner is back with two children books about the childhood of Nikola Tesla

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Teacher John W. Wagner is back with two excellent books. One about  Nikola Tesla Early childhood, titled “Nikko and Macak the Electric Cat”, and other on his later childhood titled “Nikko Superboy Inventor”. I have read both books and highly recommend them. The first book comes with a CD. It is actually an audio book as well as a regular book. These books are beautifully illustrated.

Both books are endorsed by the late  Margaret Cheney, author of Tesla, Man Out of Time

I recommend you pick up one of each and give it as a gift to a child or donate them to your public library.

Here is the link to professor wagner’s website www.ntesla.org where you can order them.

** The books are not available at amazon.com only at the ntesla.org website.

Nikola Tesla, 1856-1943. A forgotten American Scientist. The Man who invented Tomorrow.

I am an admirer of the achievements of this great scientist, who has been largely forgotten by history. A few years ago, while searching on the web for information on Nikola Tesla, I found what I think is one of the best Tesla themed web sites in the internet; http://www.ntesla.org This site is run by John W. Wagner, an extraordinary american teacher. I recommend this site to anyone looking to find information about Nikola Tesla, the real inventor of the Radio (No, not Marconi), The AC Polyphase Transmission, and the AC motor. (No, not Thomas Edison).

I could not possibly improve on Teacher Wagner’s work, nor on the contribution he along with his students have made to honor and clear some misconceptions about this remarkable scientist. What I can do, is recommend that you visit the site and help him and his students by purchasing the wonderful T-Shirts of their own design that they sell in order to collect money to continue donating Tesla Busts to major American Universities.

You need to visit the site and read it through to understand and appreciate it. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Teacher Wagner and Students, I am proud of you!. Keep up the good work!
