Description
At the heart of many fields - physics, chemistry, engineering - lies thermodynamics. While this science plays a critical role in determining the boundary between what is and is not possible in the natural world, it occurs to many as an indecipherable black box, thus making the subject a challenge to learn. Two obstacles contribute to this situation, the first being the disconnect between the fundamental theories and the underlying physics and the second being the confusing concepts and terminologies involved with the theories. While one needn't confront either of these two obstacles to successfully use thermodynamics to solve real problems, overcoming both provides access to a greater intuitive sense of the problems and more confidence, more strength, and more creativity in solving them.
Block by Block offers an original perspective on thermodynamic science and history based on the three approaches of a practicing engineer, academician, and historian. The book synthesizes and gathers into one accessible volume a strategic range of foundational topics involving the atomic theory, energy, entropy, and the laws of thermodynamics.

Outstanding Book on Science and History
This book was incredible, and details the incredible creation of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with an eye for the historical drama, particularly of Clausius, Gibbs, Maxwell, and Boltzmann. The physics are eloquently described in text, my one issue is the frequency by which equations are referred to the print or ebook versions of the text. Most other quantitative books I’ve listened to (Bernoulli’s Fallacy or the Book of Why) will read these out or include them as supplemental pdfs with the audiobook. This detracted from some of the clarity while listening.
