Driving Force
James D. Livingston
In a way that will delight and instruct even the nonmathematical among us, Livingston shows us how scientists today are creating magnets and superconductors that can levitate high-speed trains, produce images of our internal organs, steer high-energy particles in giant accelerators, and--last but not least--heat our morning coffee.
