About the book*:
Edison vs. Tesla: The Battle Over Their Last Invention by Joel Martin and William J. Birnes delves into a lesser-known chapter of the famed rivalry between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. This nonfiction work explores their concurrent efforts to develop devices intended to communicate with the dead, commonly referred to as "spirit phones."
The book reveals that Edison's interest in the spirit phone was influenced by his study of alternative physics and a near-death experience, leading him to theorize that life forms don't die but change their composition. Tesla, monitoring Edison's work, embarked on his own quest to create a device capable of picking up frequencies from discarnate spirits, a concept akin to what is now known as Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP).
Drawing from the inventors' journals, contemporary articles, and interviews, the authors shed light on this obscure facet of their legacies. The narrative also examines their forays into early concepts of artificial intelligence and robotics, underscoring their forward-thinking approaches. The book benefits from the cooperation of the Charles Edison Fund, providing access to rare photographs and graphics that enrich the text.
We actually have the book and take a look at it to determine the book's condition. We ship in protective packing to ensure it arrives in the best possible shape during shipping.
While we try to indicate the condition of all books, used books may have publisher or retail store merchant price stickers, writing or residuals or original pricing imprints and those may not be indicative of and differ from current pricing. Used books may have original or owners name, etc written or stamped in book. Stickers such as original or old pricing, inventory, etc may still be on the book as well as spots where the sticker has been previously removed. We do our best to describe the book in the condition notes above as well. Subject to shelf wear, the picture is the actual item photo. If we have more than one, we will endeavor to show the worst book or list separately. Pricing is based on today's value and not old price stickers.
We pack and ship with care! We do this right, unlike some of the other mega warehouse sellers who really haven't even looked at the book and then toss it in a cheap bag for shipping. We do better than that, and we suspect you expect better if you collect and value good books.
