Reader's note

A 1963 Pelican edition of Man and Energy by A.R. Ubbelohde. It is the control and use of 'dead' energy - whether from coal, oil, or uranium - which is the distinctive mark of modern civilization. The machine (powered by men or animals) is comparatively ancient. It was not until about A.D. 1700 that men began to move slowly forward from the employment of wind and water as prime movers towards the use of stream and atomic energy. With unlimited power now at our command, Utopia has yielded to Tekopia in human dreams. Technical perfection, however, is accompanied by such threats as dislocation of labour and total destruction in war.
