ABOUT THE BOOK:- Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass posses inertia, all force tends to persist. Owing to this universal property and condition, a body, be it at rest or in motion, tends to remain in the same state, and a force, manifesting itself anywhere and through whatever cause, produces an equivalent opposing force, and as an absolute necessity of this it follows that every movement in nature must be rhythmical. Man, however, is not an ordinary mass, consisting of spinning atoms and molecules and containing merely heat-energy. What is most wonderful of all, he is capable of increasing or diminishing his velocity of movement by the mysterious power he possesses by appropriating more or less energy from other substance, and turning it into motive energy. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, physicist and futurist. Tesla's greatest invention is AC current powers almost all of the technological wonders in the world today, from home heating to computers to high-tech precision robotics. He went United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York city. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting Laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices. Because of his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist by many late in his life. He became a naturalised U.S., citizen in 1891. The Title 'The Problem of Increasing Human Energy written/authored/edited by Nikola Tesla', published in the year 2017.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 180 p. This book scrutinizes three different theoretical aspects of Ottoman sources. The first essay discusses the principles of makam classification proposed by diverse Ottoman writers and compares their ideas within socio-cultural setting. The resulting analogies and polarities are outlined in order to emphasize the essential ideas in the perspective of musical creativity. The second essay explores Dimitrie Cantemir's compositions and establishes the authenticity of the pieces that have circulated in the general repertory of Turkish classical music under his signature. The provenance of the compositions evidences the way written and oral sources crossed borders and combined as to further generate new materials out of a commixture of original and derivative elements. In essence, oral tradition has interacted and interfered in forming Cantemirian repertory adding versions and variants that were transmitted independently and were accepted as authoritative creations by the community of musicians and the public of music lovers. The third essay evokes the personality of Hasan Talat Bey of Bebek, a remarkable patron of musicians and collector of music, who sponsored weekly musical gatherings in his mansion. There gathered frequently the music makers, creators and performers of songs and instrumental pieces. The happening of music gatherings was memorialized in the tablets with written music and decorative embellishments the host used to offer the guests as souvenirs. In addition, the discussion includes the survey of the song collection owned by Hasan Talat with title entries.
