Product Information

Energy is at the heart of physics and of huge importance to society and yet no book exists specifically to explain it and in simple terms. In tracking the history of energy this book is filled with the thrill of the chase the mystery of smoke and mirrors and presents a fascinating human-interest story. Moreover following the history provides a crucial aid to understanding: this book explains the intellectual revolutions required to comprehend energy revolutions as profound as those stemming from Relativity and Quantum Theory. Texts by Descartes Leibniz Bernoulli d'Alembert Lagrange Hamilton Boltzmann Clausius Carnot and others are made accessible and the engines of Watt and Joule are explained. Many fascinating questions are covered including: - Why just kinetic and potential energies - is one more fundamental than the other? - What are heat temperature and action? - What is the Hamiltonian? - What have engines to do with physics? - Why did the steam-engine evolve only in England? - Why S=klogW works and why temperature is IT. Using only a minimum of mathematics this book explains the emergence of the modern concept of energy in all its forms: Hamilton's mechanics and how it shaped twentieth-century physics and the meaning of kinetic energy potential energy temperature action and entropy. It is as much an explanation of fundamental physics as a history of the fascinating discoveries that lie behind our knowledge today.
