The first and only edition of this scarce collection of articles in Serbian, French, English, and German on the Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), published by the Society of the Foundation of the Nikola Tesla Institute on the occasion of his 80 birthday.

Edited by the Serbian mathematician Bogdan Gavrilovitch (1864-1947), President of the Tesla Society, and founder of the Mathematics Institute in Belgrade, the text is primarily in Serbian and French, with contributions also in English and German from world-famous scientists including Rutherford, who had 'often made use of the Tesla transformer as a method of producing high voltages in my researches' (p.141), and Arthur Compton, offering his thanks as 'one of the millions who have benefitted from the product of your inventive genius' (p.368). Other contributors of note include Johannes Stark, Max Planck, André Blondel, W.H. Bragg, and Tesla himself in excerpts reprinted from articles in the Electrical Engineer and The Century Magazine.
