Nothing has had a more profound impact on the development of modern civilization than thermodynamics. Thermodynamic processes are at the heart of everything that involves heat, energy, and work, making an understanding of the subject indispensable for careers in engineering, physical science, biology, meteorology, and even nutrition and culinary arts. Get an in-depth tour of this vital and fascinating science in 24 enthralling lectures suitable for everyone from science novices to experts who wish to review elementary concepts and formulas.

 Block by Block offers an original perspective on thermodynamic science and history based on the three approaches of a practicing engineer, academician, and historian. The book synthesizes and gathers into one accessible volume a strategic range of foundational topics involving the atomic theory, energy, entropy, and the laws of thermodynamics. 

Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers the topics found in a typical undergraduate introductory thermodynamic course (which is an essential course to nearly all engineering degree programs). It also brings the subject to life with exciting content on where (and how!) thermodynamics is being used today (spoiler alert: everywhere!). You'll grasp the basics of how heat and energy interact, thermodynamic properties of reactions and mixtures, and how thermodynamic cycles are used to make things go. 

The laws of thermodynamics drive everything that happens in the universe. From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal - everything is moved or restrained by four simple laws. This powerful and compact introduction explains what these four laws are and how they work, using accessible language and virtually no mathematics.

We stood by once and watched the world burn. Will we do it again? More Authentic than A House of Dynamite. Geopolitical considerations lead to war not a bolt out of the blue.SBIRS pick up the Korean subs launch of JL-1 missiles and a US Aegis destroyer targets six of the twelve missiles. After a targeted U.S. strike on Iran fails to destroy 900 pounds of enriched uranium, global tensions ignite. China makes its move, arming North Korea with a decommissioned nuclear submarine and rushing high-speed centrifuges to a covert Iranian site. What follows is a deadly escalation that ends with the ...

This entertaining, eye-opening account of how the laws of thermodynamics are essential to understanding the world today—from refrigeration and jet engines to calorie counting and global warming—is “a lesson in how to do popular science right” (Kirkus Reviews). Einstein’s Fridge tells...

Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the 17th-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Clayton recounts the feuds among rival schools of statistics, exploring the surprisingly human problems that gave rise to the discipline and the all-too-human shortcomings that derailed it.

A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory.    

The book offers an incredible journey from the Big Bang to the development of the Self-Conscious Universe, focusing on the challenge that intelligent life poses to entropy. The work investigates the laws of the universe, the peculiarities of the emergence of life against entropic forces, and how human culture, and— in the near future— artificial consciousness could manipulate these fundamental laws. The book covers various aspects, such as the foundations of the universe, the laws and flow of energy, the role of memory in human experience, and the intricate relationship between life and...

In 480 B.C., a huge Persian army, led by the inimitable King Xerxes, entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae to march on Greece, intending to conquer the land with little difficulty. But the Greeks, led by King Leonidas and a small army of Spartans, took the battle to the Persians at Thermopylae and halted their advance: almost. It is one of history's most acclaimed battles, one of civilization's greatest last stands.

Aerospace engineer Esther Abbott doesn't believe in love, but she's perfectly happy to hate her annoying screenwriter neighbor, Jonathan. Until she's forced to strike a devil's bargain with him: he distracts her best friend from a mouth-breather ex, and in return Esther will help him with the sci-fi script he's writing. Her patience is put to the test when it's time to fulfill her end of the deal. But the more time she spends with her nemesis, the more hate turns into attraction - and attraction into something much deeper.

Exercise researcher and author Ellington Darden has studied exercise and fat loss for more than 40 years. His most recent program combines his previous findings on fat loss and muscle gain with new research on the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer for a six or 12-week plan that will eliminate belly bloat, destroy flab, and stoke metabolism. Integrating his many years of research, the program has had more than 1,137 participants who shed an average of 29.5 pounds of fat and lost six inches off their waist or belly.
