Summary

'Origins of Batteries' presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of battery technology, beginning with Alessandro Volta's groundbreaking invention in 1800 and extending to today's advanced energy storage solutions. The book weaves together three compelling narratives: the scientific principles of battery technology, the historical progression of different battery types, and their transformative role in enabling sustainable energy systems and modern electronics.

 
Through meticulously researched content drawn from engineering archives and patent databases, the book reveals how pivotal figures like Georges Leclanché and John B. Goodenough overcame persistent technical challenges to advance battery technology. The text expertly explains how the basic electrochemical interactions between materials create electrical potential, progressing from simple zinc-carbon cells to sophisticated lithium-ion configurations.

 
This technical evolution is presented in an accessible manner, using detailed diagrams and performance data to illustrate key developments. The book uniquely demonstrates how each advancement in battery technology has enabled new technological possibilities, from powering early telegraph systems to current electric vehicles and grid-scale storage solutions.

 
It addresses contemporary challenges in energy storage while maintaining a strong connection to historical developments, making it valuable for engineers, students, and technology professionals. The content thoughtfully balances technical depth with practical applications, examining how battery improvements in energy density, rechargeability, and safety continue to shape our transition to renewable energy systems and mobile computing capabilities.

    A fascinating journey into the secret life of insects, with QR codes linked to videos that bring every creature to life.
Just as birds have yearly rhythms, so do bees, beetles, butterflies and other insects. Wildlife experts Dominic Couzens and Gail Ashton discover 52 minibeasts from around the world.
They tell the story of what is happening week-by-week in the insect world, in our own backyards, window boxes and in hidden corners of our homes. From the daily grind of the house spider building a new web each morning, to the vast appetites of ladybirds, which can devour hundreds of aphids a day, and the glory of the Stag beetle's maiden flight. We delve into the world of the lethal Sydney funnelweb spider in Australian gardens, the migratory mission of the Monarch butterfly in America and the life of the backdoor scorpions in South Africa. In among the seasonal behaviour, the authors have woven history and folklore.
These brilliant stories are complemented by wonderful illustrations by Lesley Buckingham that bring out the beauty of the entomological world. A QR code for each entry takes you to a video file to further explore the habits of these intriguing creatures. Revealing the true wonder of our insect neighbours, this book will appeal to all nature lovers.
