Joško Battestin (born 14.3.1918) is a retired Slovene electrical engineer, inventor, physics teacher and author of a number of books on experiments in physics, many aimed at aiding the understanding of the subject by secondary school students.[1]
Amongst his publications is a book on graphology, expanding on the theories of Ludwig Klages that Battestin published in 2008 at the age of 91.[2] In 1965 he won the Levstik Award for his book Mikroskop Pionir (The Pioneer Microscope).[3]
