For some reason why I thought about that recently I was asked to review a book written by some MIT physicists and engineers and it's called the physics of energy.

The Physics of Energy by Robert L. Jaffe and Washington Taylor is a comprehensive textbook written by MIT professors and physicists that breaks down the foundational concepts of energy governing human civilization. On StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson discussed reviewing the substantial book after being asked to write a blurb for it. Tyson humorously suggested that the massive textbook would serve as the ultimate volume to jumpstart civilization if humanity ever needed to rebuild after an apocalypse. In a later appearance on the podcast, Tyson brought out the thick volume again, highlighting the physical size of the work co-authored by Robert Jaffe and Washington Taylor. He used the textbook to emphasize the sheer depth of scientific knowledge required to understand how energy operates across various systems, showcasing the publication as an essential reference for serious students and educators dedicated to mastering the core principles of physics and modern energy infrastructure.
