As he did for one end of the temperature spectrum in Cold, Streever, a biologist and nature writer, examines in detail what “hot” means. From tropical climates to fevers to rituals involving a walk on burning coals, this study explains the science behind heat and delves into the history of its use, from the invention of matches to thermonuclear weapons.
