Description
"Of the three fundamental methods of measurement -- time, length, and temperature -- Gino Segre is convinced that temperature is not only the most subtle but also the most revealing. In this engaging, insightful book, Segre, a distinguished theoretical physicist, makes his lifelong fascination with temperature the organizing theme of a wide-ranging journey through science, history, and culture" --Jacket.
