Tesla was obviously an important personage and a brilliant man. If not for him, we might have electricity but no way to distribute it. So... why is it that every children's science book mentions Edison and the light bulb, mentions Franklin and his kite, but doesn't mention Tesla?
I completely agree, and that's why it's been very encouraging to see that some of my children's science resources do mention, and even feature, Tesla. True, my children are home-schooled and their teacher (my wife) is somewhat eclectic (not to mention influenced moderately by the Ra material), but nonetheless the resources are out there to find now. I'm pretty sure they weren't when I was a kid.
