Ice and fire are among the most powerful images in nature.
Cold slows matter, preserves structures, and shapes landscapes of ice.
Heat releases energy, transforms materials, and drives the dynamic forces of the Earth.
The Science of Ice and Fire explores these two fundamental extremes of temperature from a scientific perspective. From the cooling of the early universe to glaciers, volcanoes, life in extreme environments, and modern technology, the book follows how cold and heat influence the physical world, living systems, and human understanding of nature.
Rather than treating them as simple opposites, this book shows how ice and fire are connected expressions of the same underlying processes that shape our planet and the wider universe.
This edition brings together two originally separate works—The Science of Cold and The Science of Fire—first written in German and now combined into a single volume.
A calm and accessible exploration of temperature, energy, and the natural world.
