Einstein's Fridge: How the Difference Between Hot and Cold Explains the Universe
Paul Sen
An entertaining, eye-opening account of the extraordinary team of innovators who discovered the laws of thermodynamics essential to understanding the world today—from refrigeration and jet engines to calorie counting and global warming—for fans of How We Got to Now and A Brief History of Nearly Everything.
The laws of thermodynamics—the branch of physics that deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy—govern everything from the behavior of atoms to living cells, from the engines that power our world to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and ultimately how the universe will end. Now, Einstein's Fridge tells the incredible epic story of how a group of scientists over two centuries uncovered the least known and yet most consequential of all the sciences, learned to harness the power of heat and ice, and...
