In this unique book, the reader is invited to experience the joy of
appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many
years - entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has
a two-pronged message: first, that the second law is not infinitely
incomprehensible as commonly stated in most textbooks on
thermodynamics, but can, in fact, be comprehended through sheer
common sense; and second, that entropy is not a mysterious quantity
that has resisted understanding but a simple, familiar and easily
comprehensible concept.Written in an accessible style, the book
guides the reader through an abundance of dice games and examples
from everyday life. The author paves the way for readers to
discover for themselves what entropy is, how it changes, and, most
importantly, why it always changes in one direction in a
spontaneous process.In this new edition, seven simulated games are
included so that the reader can actually experiment with the games
described in the book. These simulated games are meant to enhance
the readers' understanding and sense of joy upon discovering the
Second Law of Thermodynamics.
