Rambling Through Science and Technology, 2nd Edition

Introducing core ideas in Science and Technology. Simple presentations on a variety of topics, from the beginnings of science to the wild ideas (such as the Big Bang) of astronomy today. In this adventure we touch on the history of science and the heroes of science, the fantastic invention of the heat engine, how to tell which is the most efficient of mechanical devices, the recent creation of the theory of statistics and of games (so important in resolving conflicts), plus various other topics including Einstein and Carnot and that mysterious non-thing called entropy.
