2024 Reprint of Two Separate Publications Published in a Single Volume. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Collected Writings of Edward Leedskalnin is a compilation of two of Leedskalnin’s works,  A Book in Every Home and Magnetic Current. This eccentric sculptor and amateur scientist devoted most of his life to creating a large complex of megalithic stones that he quarried and carved himself.Leedskalnin purchased a modest plot in Florida and began removing and relocating enormous stones from his land, moving them into position, and carving them entirely on his own as far as we know. The pieces include sculptures and carved stone furniture, as well as a two-story tower that served as his living quarters. Due to the scale of the project, some have dubbed it 'Florida’s Stonehenge.' While it’s unclear how Leedskalnin was able to complete it, it is all the more impressive considering his small stature and questionable health.Leedskalnin also spent two years testing magnets and recording his findings. These experiments would form the basis of Magnetic Current, published in 1945. In the book, Leedskalnin argues that electricity and magnetism are not separate phenomena but are instead two aspects of the same fundamental force, which he calls 'magnetic current.' He also proposes a new model of atomic structure and suggests that the fundamental particles of matter are tiny magnets that are constantly in motion.Leedskalnin presents a variety of experiments throughout the book, many of which involve the manipulation of magnetic fields using simple items like various magnets, car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire. He believed that his discoveries could provide insights into the mysteries of the universe, including the relative positions of the celestial bodies. Both works demonstrate Leedskalnin’s unique view of the world and his eccentric personality. Though certainly eccentric, the two works offer an intriguing glimpse into the mind of a self-taught philosopher and inventor who had a unique perspective on the world around him.
