4.0 out of 5 stars
Good amount of historical human thermodynamic trivia.,
By Libb Thims (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Human Motor: Energy, Fatigue, and the Origins of Modernity (Paperback)
The book is similar in theme and content to Mirowski's 1989 More Heat than Light (albeit less technically rigorous), containing interesting trivia tidbits, e.g. that German mathematician Carl Neumann, the first to introduce the d-hat derivative symbol for inexact differentials (1875), had views on how economic life related to energetic components of energy exchanges between people. Here's a short bio on Rabinbach:[...] He states that the book originated from a 1993 paper he wrote. |
