In this unique book, Arieh Ben-Naim invites the reader 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 textbooks of 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.
