Book Summary
This book promotes a novel approach, by emphasising the physical concept of
action, to complement that of energy. It aims to show that too much attention
may have been devoted to energy in biothermodynamics and insufficient attention
to action. This relative neglect may now be limiting our capacity to understand
how ecosystems function, how they evolved and if they can be sustained, as human
demands for food, shelter and transport increase. Ivan Kennedy introduces the
concept of 'action', a thermodynamic property related to entropy, resulting from
impulses of energy on matter producing force, based on the sole principle of the
conservation of momentum. The significance of action
