Narrator Malk Williams's fine English accents and clear delivery bring this scientific work to life. A study of the significance of thermodynamics--the branch of physics dealing with heat, work, and temperature--it presents a real challenge for the narrator. Williams more than meets it. His deliberate pace and comprehensible style keep the listener engaged. His tone is spot-on. And he is especially good at telling the many stories of major figures who influenced this consequential field. Here are profiles of Lord Kelvin, famed for the hot scale; Albert Einstein and his incredible discoveries and theorems; and Alan Turing, the father of computing. Those who want to understand how heat and cold affect the universe will find much in this audiobook. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
