Description
This title explores the history of the ideas of what heat was, from the ancient element of fire to the 18th-century notion of heat as an indestructible fluid. It explains the revolutionary experiments that developed the early theories of thermodynamics and discusses the theories that helped formalise the new ideas of heat and energy.
