Energy, the subtle concept : the discovery of Feynman's blocks from Leibniz to Einstein / by Jennifer Coopersmith. -- Revised edition. -- Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2015. -- xviii, 422 stran : ilustrace ; 22 cm. -- First edition published in 2010--Rub titulního listu. -- Anotace: 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. -- ISBN : 978-0-19-871674-7 (brožováno).
