Book Synopsis Energy and the Unexpected by : Keith James Laidler
Book excerpt: From the steam engine to e-mc2 and beyond, the concept of energy offers an essential key to our understanding of the Universe. In this entertaining and highly readable book, Professor Laidler explains the concept of energy and its characteristics as they have been discovered over the past two centuries. Having looked at energy on a small scale and then on the scale of the Universe itself, he shows the link with chaos theory, according to which the unexpected is inevitable.
