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...

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.

Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet.

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.

Imagine you’re trying to build the biggest, most awesome LEGO castle ever. You gather all your colorful bricks—the reds, blues, yellows, and greens. You plan your design, start stacking the bricks, and build towers, walls, gates, and secret tunnels. Everything’s going great. But suddenly, something odd starts to happen. Parts of your castle stick together more tightly than they should. Some towers refuse to fall over, no matter how much you poke them. And even stranger, the whole play area you’re building on starts stretching.

The transition to clean energy is moving far too slowly. Trapped by a century of fossil fuel investments and politicians that struggle to plan beyond the next election, the “Big Grid” that powers our modern world is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade. Freeing Energy offers a new and faster path towards a clean energy future — one that is more reliable, more equitable, and cheaper.

Discover the powerful world of energy! Budding scientists learn about the different types of energy, including chemical energy, kinetic energy, and solar energy.

Free Your Energy: The Path to Freedom, Mental Clarity, and a Life of Enjoyment is an audiobook that explores many emotions and ideas. It gives the listener stories, reflection points, mantras, and acts as a guide to discover their own path to freedom. Mental freedom is a topic schools need to talk about; it’s something we should talk about with friends, and we should use introspection to discover what traps us from reaching our potential. There are some ideas, places, and people that we must let go of in order to be free.

In this Very Short Introduction, Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use. He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and looks forward to the radical changes in fuel technology that will be necessary to continue to provide energy supplies in a sustainable manner, and extend access across the developing world.

In audiobook format, uses aliens to explain the science of energy.

Dive into the groundbreaking work of Thomas Louis Navarro as he redefines propulsion with the 4-Phase Motor Generator Device. Drawing from advanced electromagnetic engineering and supersymmetric design, this book introduces a revolutionary concept: using eccentric mass loads and the Higgs Field to move payloads in space—without traditional fuel-based thrust.

With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.

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

Did you know that tiny atoms that make up all matter hold huge amounts of energy? This energy, called nuclear energy, can power the television and refrigerator in your home. How is nuclear energy produced, though? And what are the drawbacks of this energy source? Listen to this audiobook to find out all about nuclear energy.

A pot of water boils over a hot burner on the stove. Sunshine warms your skin on a breezy day. Heat is warming things all around you. But what exactly is heat? And how do things become warmer or colder? Listen to this audiobook to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the Exploring Physical Science series - part of the Lightning Bolt Books™ collection. Lightning Bolt Books™ bring nonfiction topics to life!

Nata sotto la cattiva stella dell'arma che può distruggere il mondo, l'energia nucleare ha sempre attirato grandi consensi e grandi rifiuti. Da qualche anno si parla di "rinascimento nucleare" poiché questa fonte sembra rispondere non solo alla crescente domanda di energia mondiale, ma anche all'esigenza di produrre elettricità senza emettere gas serra. Ma è vero che il nucleare conviene e può contribuire allo sviluppo sostenibile? Oppure il rischio di emissioni radioattive e il problema delle scorie da smaltire ce ne devono tenere lontani?

In order to know where to find solar energy you must first know what solar energy is. Solar energy is energy from the sun. When the sun is shining solar energy is being produced as it sends the heat radiating to the earth.
