'Ben-Naim convincingly argues that SMI not only gives a simpler and
more broadly applicable definition of entropy, but also clears up
much of the historical and modern confusion surrounding the second
law. This book will interest any individual who wants to understand
how SMI gives a clear definition of entroy.'CHOICE ConnectThis book
discusses the proper definitions of entropy, the valid
interpretation of entropy and some useful applications of the
concept of entropy. Unlike many books which apply the concept of
entropy to systems for which it is not even defined (such as living
systems, black holes and the entire universe), these applications
will help the reader to understand the meaning of entropy. It also
emphasizes the limitations of the applicability of the concept of
entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As with the previous
books by the author, this book aims at a clear and mystery-free
presentation of the central concept in thermodynamics - the
entropy.In this book, the concepts of entropy and the Second Law
are presented in a friendly, simple language. It is devoid of all
kinds of fancy and pompous statements made by authors of popular
science books who write on this subject.
