"First published in February 1919, ‘My Inventions’ is an enlightening autobiographical account of Nikola Tesla, written at the age of 63. One of the most important technological innovators of the modern industrial age, Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field, the root of most alternating-current machinery. He also originated the three-phase system of electric power transmission. He immigrated to the United States in 1884 and sold the patent rights of his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors to George Westinghouse. In 1891 he invented the ‘Tesla coil’, an induction coil widely used in radio technology. This firsthand account reveals the captivating life of a genius. Well-known for the radio, robotics, and wireless energy, Tesla quickly gained international fame for his pioneering inventions. The content of the book was largely drawn from a series of articles that Nikola Tesla had written for Electrical Experimenter magazine. It is a fascinating window into the principles and practices of Tesla’s singular world. Here we witness the art and science behind the conception, execution, and reception of Tesla’s most famous inventions. In this personal account, Tesla tells about his life, how his inventions came to him, and even how his inventions helped save his life. He tells his encounters with famous people, his brushes with death, which happened more than once, and also about some future ideas. CONTENTS: 1. My Early Life 2. Extraordinary Experiences 3. The Rotary Magnetic Field 4. Tesla Coil and Transformer 5. The Influences that Shape Our Destiny 6. The Magnifying Transmitter"

First published in German in 1916, and later translated into English in 1920, 'Relativity: The Special and the General Theory' is a short paper and was eventually published as a book by Albert Einstein, German-born, best known for his work on the theory of Relativity, gaining him the title of 'Father of Modern Physics'. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, and his work is attributed as an inspiration for the quantum theory within the field of physics. His hundreds of papers and books are highly original and intelligent, making him one of the most famous and respected intellectual minds of the twentieth century. 
Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity' is the most significant scientific idea of the modern era. In this book Einstein explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas, and principles of the theory which has shaped the world we live in today. Unequaled by any subsequent books on relativity, this remains the most popular and beneficial exposition of Einstein's immense contribution to human knowledge. 
It is divided into 3 parts, the first dealing with special relativity, the second dealing with general relativity, and the third dealing with considerations on the universe as a whole. In this work Einstein intended, as far as possible, to give an accurate insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general and scientific-philosophical point of view, are curious in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The theory of relativity enriched physics and astronomy during the 20th century.

"First published in England in August 1945, ‘Animal Farm’ is a classic satire of the Russian Revolution by George Orwell, an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. It is considered one of Orwell’s most remarkable works, and a political fable based on the occurrences of Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution and the betrayal of the cause by Joseph Stalin. Orwell’s work is distinguished by keen brilliance and wit, a deep awareness of social injustice, intense resistance to totalitarianism, a fascination for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism. It is the account of the fierce struggle, initiated by the animals, that alters Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm, a wholly democratic society built on the ideology that “All Animals are Created Equal”. Out of their intelligence, the pigs: Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball materialize as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The pigs form a tyranny even more domineering and cruel than that of their former human masters. The characters in the novella resemble significant people that influenced the Russian Revolution. These characters act similarly to the real people and actions that were done in the past. Through this book, George Orwell uncovers Stalin's true disposition and evils using a crooked pig named Napoleon that eventually dictates the farm. It is one of the most momentous political texts ever written."
