To many modern scientists, a living thing is not significantly different from a lifeless object, understood in terms of its basic parts (genes and molecules). Whereas science has given us many wonderful things, it has also taken away something essential--our ability to consider life seriously as a unique form of energy. Alexis Pietak, an exciting new scientific thinker, argues that the "livingness" of a life form is a very real kind of energy that we must recognize along with other kinds of energy such as heat and light. In this book, Dr. Pietak builds an entirely new, holistic and rational science of life that could significantly enhance our understanding of individual life forms, ecological systems, and even human sustainability on our planet. This original and groundbreaking book highlights a crucial missing element in mainstream science.

^Energy and Life addresses the subject of energy in biological systems. It concentrates on the way in which energy flow through plants, animals and bacteria drives the primary processes of life such as metabolism, movement and ion transport. It deals with living systems from a whole-body approach, for exampke in starvation and obesity, to the cellular and molecular level where modern advances in biochemistry and molecular biology are revolutionising our knowledge of how "molecular machines" work. Extensive illustrations, concept boxes, summary sections, suggested further reading lists, as well as questions and answers aid with the presentation of a sometimes daunting, yet fascinating, area of biological science.

In this compelling, and important book, John Schmitz brings order to the world of chaos that surrounds us. The Second Law of Life refers to the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, which is an omnipresent force that quietly and crucially determines every aspect of our society, culture and daily lives. Unless we come to understand entropy, future generations will face consequences of the unstoppable laws of physics.Entropy explains the amount of energy no longer capable of doing work; in other words, wasted energy or heat loss. Each moment of every day, we lose irreplaceable energy and ômodernö technology is not helping. In fact, it is accelerating the problem at a catastrophic rate. û And we will ultimately face a heat death crisis and utter destruction of the Earth. Even actions we take to improve the environment may actually do more damage than good. For example, recycling is considered environmentally, socially and politically correct. Under the influence of entropy, however, it is a prolific waster of energy; we must look at entire systems, not just parts.It is critical that we find ways to reduce energy loss. Seeing the problems with greater clarity will lead to solutions. This fascinating and accessible journey through the second law of thermodynamics is a step in the right direction.

The enigma of human energy has been cracked. Biologist Guy Brown offers the first popular introduction to the cutting edge science of bioenergetics, one that provides a new understanding of the energy of life. We all know that something is happening to our energy levels on a sugar "rush," or a coffee "high," or following that afternoon nap, but now everyone can understand the smoothly operating human-energy machine, thanks to Brown's lucid overview of how energy courses through us at both the micro level of our cells and the macro level of our behavior. At the micro level, the fundamental energy of our bodies is the frenetic movement within our cells that is powered by body heat. The nucleus, the mitochondria, and all ten thousand tiny bimolecular machines that fabricate and transport molecules around the cell do not sit still within the cell membrane but move about as if they were bubblegum balls in a vibrating gum machine. This movement puts every element of the cell in contact with every other every few seconds and enables the energy of the cell to flow. The energy comes from mitochondria, those strange, genetically distinct little beasts that heat our bodies and consume all the food we eat and oxygen we breathe. Brown has completed breakthough work on mitochondria and explains how they invaded our cells hundreds of millions of years ago. In the last few years, he and his colleagues have shown how these invaders wield the power of life or death over our every cell, over our very lives. The carbohydrates, fats, and proteins we eat constitute mitochondria's main fuels, but our brains run only on glucose -- a peculiar and even toxic chemical when there is too much of it inour blood, as any diabetic knows well. This energy source of the mind is in very limited supply in our bodies because we can store so little of it. Brown suggests that we tend to eat too much fat because we are designed to stop being hungry when we've eaten enough of the carbohydrates from which we make glucose. Eating fat doesn't make us feel "full" as quickly or in the same way. For this reason, in the macro world of affluent societies, we must remind ourselves of the importance of a relatively high-carbohydrate, relatively low-fat diet. Brown explores the energy dynamics of our athletic limits and our excited minds. He shows the strengths of mitochondria-rich brown muscle and the high-speed power of mitochondria-poor white muscle. Sex, which surprisingly begins as electrical energy in the brain's hypothalamus cell nuclei, increases heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and muscle tension, quickly drenching the body in a shower of energy, culminating in orgasm. Ultimately, Brown reveals all the processes of mind and body to be flows either of short-term or long-term energy that are most efficient when we follow the simple plan of a balanced diet and regular exercise. Built on a foundation of original research, a study of what energy has meant historically, and the up-to-the-minute perspective of the Brown Laboratory in the celebrated halls of biochemistry at Cambridge, this book is a treasure chest of human science for those interested in how our vital force works. Intriguingly, Brown concludes that it is more important to base our lives on the science of long-term and short-term energy levels than on monitoring our calorie intake or even our bank balance. Whether ornot we follow this advice, here is an entertaining and scientific owners' manual for the human body that celebrates "the creator and destroyer of all things," "The Energy of Life."

A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. "I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next 'Star Wars' movie. In his latest book, Energy and Civilization: A History, he goes deep and broad to explain how innovations in humans' ability to turn energy into heat, light, and motion have been a driving force behind our cultural and economic progress over the past 10,000 years. —Bill Gates, Gates Notes, Best Books of the Year Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows—ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity—for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts—from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.

The Energy To Thrive will demonstrate that you are primarily electrical fields of energy and you are continually interacting with an Electrically Interactive and Super Conductive World (EISCW) around you. You will come to understand that you are primarily comprised of electrical fields of energy through the many examples of ways your electrical fields interact with an EISCW. The Energy To Thrive will offer many tools and strategies for accessing this EISCW. With this book, I am integrating, for the first time, the scientific research and experiments that explain two very important concepts: 1. You are primarily electrical fields of energy. 2. With this knowledge, you can take control of your well-being. Becoming aware and sensitive to the electrical energy that flows in and through you is essential if you want to live a more dynamic and energized life. Retraining yourself to focus on the world of energy, even though you cannot see it, reinforces what science is able to prove--you are primarily electrical fields of energy. Acting from the understanding that you are, first and foremost, made of electrical fields of energy, and recognizing the vast possibilities to interact with an EISCW, will enable you to realize that invisible electrical energy is extremely powerful. Thoughts, feelings, sound, diet, exercise, and relationships all have the potential to increase or diminish your electrical energy. Becoming more aware of the influences these invisible energies have on your energy will give you access to the energy needed to thrive. No special skills are required to use the ideas, tools, and strategies in this book to improve your flow of electrical energy. It is all about re-thinking what is possible.
