A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy: From Aristotle to the OED - Routledge Studies in Cultural History
Peter Hjertholm
This book offers a cultural history of the travels of energy in the English language, from its origins in Aristotle’s ontology, where it referred to the activity-of-being, through its English usage as a way to speak about the inherent nature of things, to its adoption as a name for the mechanics of motion (capacity for work).
