The Britannica Guide to Heat, Force, and Motion
Erik Gregersen
Many of the world's most common processes and interactions are governed
by the laws of thermodynamics and mechanics. While the transfer,
release, or absorption of heat often accompany chemical reactions or
seem inherent to mechanical systems, they are also familiar to anyone
who has ever spent time outdoors on a warm day or touched a hot plate.
Likewise, any physical body, large or small, solid or fluid, is subject
to a wide range of forces that trigger motion. This detailed compendium
explores the foundations and laws of both thermodynamics and mechanics
as well as the lives of those individuals who helped advance these
fundamental areas of physics.
