Reseña del libro "What Is Energy?. An Answer Based on the Evolution of a Concept"

This book provides a solution to the problem with the energy concept. Although this is a problem for physicists who need to explain the concept, it is not a problem for physics that can be solved by laboratory means.

This book provides a solution to the problem with the energy concept. This problem manifests itself in the fact that physicists clearly diverge regarding the question of what energy is. Some define it but others state that we do not know what it is. Although this is a problem for physicists who need to explain the concept, it is not a problem for physics that can be solved by laboratory means. Penetrating into the origin of the notion of energy, this book offers a clear idea of what was discovered and what was invented to interpret the findings.
Following the development of the concept, it provides an explanation of the trends in contemporary textbooks. The author''s repetition, in his "History and Philosophy of Physics Laboratory", of Joules famous experiment the paddle wheel experiment with a calorimeter as originally used by Joule and with a calorimeter as proposed in textbooks, is presented, yielding new insight into the phenomenon. Thus, science teachers andstudents will benefit from reading the book as well as historians, philosophers, students of the history and philosophy of science, and all who are interested in knowing about what it is that we call energy.
