Discover the power of physics in understanding critical societal challenges with ‘Physics of Societal Issues: Calculations on National Security, Environment, and Energy’. This undergraduate textbook, inspired by Enrico Fermi’s ‘back of the envelope’ calculations, equips you with the tools to analyze complex issues like energy use, nuclear weapons, and environmental impact using data and scientific reasoning. Author David Hafemeister demonstrates how to make rough estimates of key parameters to grasp the core of a problem and evaluate policy decisions effectively. Perfect for students and engaged citizens seeking factual insights beyond rhetoric, this book offers a quantitative approach to crucial global concerns.
