212 Degrees:  The Extra Degree 
A book by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson

An excerpt from the chapter "One Degree"

"Raising the temperature by one extra degree means the difference between something that is very hot and something that generates enough force to power a machine - a beautiful, uncomplicated metaphor that should ideally feed our every endeavor - consistently pushing us to make the extra effort in every task we undertake, 212 degrees serves as a forceful drill sergeant with its motivating and focused message while adhering to a scientific law - a natural law. It reminds us that seemingly small things can make tremendous differences."

And with boiling water comes steam . . . and steam can power a locamotive!!!
