Description: "This book introduces the reader to the concept of action, a thermodynamic property related to entropy. It results from impulses of energy on matter producing force, based on the sole principle of the conservation of momentum. The significance of action was implied by Max Planck and Albert Einstein early in the 20th century when they defined the quantum of action, h.".

"The action resonance theory (ART) transcends disciplines. Originally designed to solve specific biological problems, such as ATP synthesis, its role in muscle function and nitrogenase activity, ART has universal significance for sustaining the earth's ecosystems in the face of global problems such as the greenhouse effect. The author, Ivan Kennedy, proposes that action resonance is valid from microcosm to macrocosm, providing a cogent version of the unified field theory sought by Einstein and others."--BOOK JACKET.
