Gernot Neugebauer's German-language book argues for a common thread across physics. As the field becomes more specialised, physicists look more and more for unifying theories that connect separate areas, and the author sets out to show that thermodynamic ways of thinking can help in that search when they are combined with relativistic ideas of space and time.
The book draws on several branches of physics, which the catalogue lists as including hydro- and elastomechanics, and examines them with this approach. Its aim is to show how useful thermodynamic thinking can be across these settings.
Physics students and researchers interested in relativity and thermodynamics will find the topic relevant to their work.
