This booklet is also for the budding scientists, mathematicians and engineers among us to inspire and encourage them to pursue courses of study in science and engineering that are essential for energy security and the environment we all share.
It is also a tribute to the mathematical insights of Carnot and the relationship between his revolutionary ideas on thermodynamics and the work of Gibbs, Helmholtz and Nernst, each a brilliant pioneer in different areas of science. Much of what we have achieved stands on the foundations of their knowledge.
