Creating and harnessing energy is a fundamental part of enabling
life to exist and thrive on earth. Energy comes in a vast array of
different forms - using our muscles and those of other creatures,
enabling us to move, lift etc, creating heat and steam through
fire, capturing the power of the wind in a ship's sails or to turn
the blades of a wind turbine, harnessing the power of moving water
to generate electricity in a hydroelectric power station, applying
the forces of magnetism to turn an electric motor, using solar
panels to transfer the sun's energy into electricity for our homes
- all of these and more are explained in 'Discovering Energy'.
Have you ever wondered how the wheel was invented or who created
the first video game? Do you understand how the internet works and
why vaccines save lives? Are you aware that fossil fuels not only
power cars and planes, but are also used to generate the
electricity that powers almost everything else? Do you know about
alternative energy sources and how they work? Would you like to
know more about robotic surgery, vertical farming or gene therapy?
Then this is the book for you!
