The progress of civilization is dependent on the effective use of energy and its transformation; from the sources of energy to how it can be applied to solve the needs of the citizens of this planet.

The correct application of these Laws should not be restricted to only professional engineers but extended to the practical engineer in all of us. This practical text not only provides the basics of engineering thermodynamics but also describes how they can be applied by both the trained and untrained energy entrepreneur, to contemporary problems of effective energy use on Earth.

Even a flashlight needs batteries. No power no light. It is the power of the sun’s thermonuclear inferno that provides the natural light illuminating life on earth.
In the arcane world of physical cosmology and astronomy the debate about Dark Matter and Dark Energy consumes the attention of the best and the brightest even though this has about as much every day walking around relevance as the ancient question, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin.” We’re told that which is invisible is measurable. Some scientists go so far as to say that only 4% of the universe is physically observable, made up of matter. The remaining 96% they
