Thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the movement
of heat. Nothing seems simpler, but nothing is more subtle and wide-
ranging in its effects. And nothing has had a more profound impact on the
development of modern civilization.

Thermodynamics: Four Laws That Move the Universe gives you an
in-depth tour of this vital and fascinating science in 24 enthralling lectures
that are suitable for everyone, from science novices to experts who wish to
revisit favorite concepts and formulas. Your teacher is Professor Jeffrey C.
Grossman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Grossman,
a scientist at the forefront of research on new materials, brings exciting
experiments right into your living room.
