Let There Be Energy

From the stars to the wind, rivers, and our own bodies, energy can be found in everything around us, and studying it is key to understanding our world.

Exploring the seven main forms of energy—nuclear, electromagnetic, kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical—Marc Redondo shows us how energy is generated, as well as the laws that govern it and make everything from microwaves, rockets, and roller coasters to the human body work.

In Let There Be Energy, we will discover, in a simple and entertaining way, how the force that gives rise to all the phenomena on this planet and to the inventions that make our lives more comfortable behaves. We will also come to understand that if physics frightens us, it is because it has not been taught to us properly.
