Product Description

Review

"'Segre elegantly gives us essential physics nicely laced with anecdote and graced with literary references that tie physics to the wider culture' The Times 'This book develops as rapidly as the universe itself into a study of the big questions of science, using temperature as the path through it all. Mind-expanding reading' Observer; 'Refreshing and rewarding, like listening to a graceful conversation' The New York Times; 'One of the most deft and accessible physics books I've read in a long while...Superb' LA Times"


Product Description

Physics is the Segre family business, and Gino's enthusiasm for science is very natural and infectious. This book takes the reader on a surprising tour of the cosmos, starting within the human body and ending at the limits of the universe - using the concept of temperature as a guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science+Humanism, 9 Jul 2009
By Mark Goretsky - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book which I've read under the different title "A Matter of Degrees". I liked it very much so I bought another book by Gino Segre -"Einstein's Refrigerator"- which is exactly the same book from the same publisher, Penguin. I find such misleading practices of repackaging by such a famous publisher to be reprehensible.
