Thermodynamics--the branch of physics that deals with energy and entropy--is the least known and yet most consequential of all the sciences. It governs everything from the behavior of living cells to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how lights turn on, the limits of computing, and how the universe will end. The brilliant people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences; they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists, and mathematicians. From French military engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot to Lord Kelvin, James Joule, Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether, Alan Turing, and Stephen Hawking, author Paul Sen introduces us to all of the players who passed the baton of scientific progress through time and across nations. Incredibly driven and idealistic, these brave pioneers performed groundbreaking work often in the face of torment and tragedy. Their discoveries helped create the modern world and transformed every branch of science, from biology to cosmology. Einstein's Fridge brings to life one of the most important scientific revolutions of all time and captures the thrill of discovery and the power of scientific progress to shape the course of history"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 536.7 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 536.7 Se Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 536.7 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 536.7 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 536.7 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 536.7 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
