Paul Sen.
Einstein's Fridge: the science of fire, ice and the universe.
William Collins. 2021

The laws of thermodynamics govern everything from the behaviour of atoms to that of living cells, from the engines that power our world to the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explain why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and ultimately how the universe will end. Paul Sen’s compelling narrative captures the thrill of discovery and the power of the revolutionary science that changed the world forever.
