Energy Physics

A “meticulously researched” (The New York Times Book Review) examination of energy transitions over time and an exploration of the current challenges presented by global warming, a surging world population, and renewable energy—from Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author...

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today. 

In this user-friendly and informative audiobook, prolific author and academic Vaclav Smil provides an introduction to this far-reaching term and gives the reader a greater understanding of energy's place in both past and present society. Starting with an explanation of the concept, he goes on to cover such exciting topics as the inner workings of the human body, and the race for more efficient and environmentally friendly fuels.

No less a figure than Bertrand Russell remarked that Aristotle’s Physics was ‘extremely influential and dominated science until the time of Galileo’. This was despite the fact that this work is as much a collection of ‘lectures on nature’ rather than dealing with the science of physics...

You may feel as if you don't control your emotional energy, that it's an inevitable consequence of the world around you and the forces bearing down on you. But that's not the case. To reach your full potential, you can learn to recognize and harness the energy in your brain. Leading neuropsychologist Julia DiGangi will teach you how through eight "codes." Some of the codes will surprise you. All will fortify you. You will learn why these codes work and how to apply them to your own challenges through exercises and reflections.

In this updated and expanded edition of her alternative-health classic, Donna Eden shows listeners how to work with the body's energy systems to boost vitality and stamina, strengthen the immune system, relieve pain and common complaints such as colds and tension headaches, sharpen mind and memory, and enhance overall health with an invigorating five-minute daily routine.

In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel-driven civilization and offers listeners a magisterial overview of humanity's energy eras.

Wenn sich die Menschen früher die Natur nicht erklären konnten, haben sie Mythen erfunden. Heute wissen wir es besser: Nicht Götter und Geister bestimmen die Welt, sondern Gleichungen und Gesetze. Und doch klammern sich viele lieber an Mythen, wenn die Wissenschaft schlechte Nachrichten hat. So wie die Nachricht von der Erderwärmung. In dieser Ausgabe von „Erzähl mir alles: Physik" entlarvt das Physiker-Team die hartnäckigsten Fehlinformationen über den Klimawandel und die Energiewende.

Futurologist Luna Lee presents possibilities for the future of energy in the next 100 years.

What if the universe is not made of definite objects—but of possibilities? At the beginning of the twentieth century, classical physics appeared capable of explaining almost everything. Max Planck proposed a reluctant solution; Einstein turned it into a revolutionary idea, and physics would never be the same again. A Brief History of Quantum Physics tells the extraordinary story of the discoveries, experiments, debates, and brilliant minds that transformed our understanding of matter, energy, and reality.
