'The four laws that do not drive the universe: elements of thermodynamics for the curious and intelligent. The second purpose of Ben-NaimaEURO (TM)s book is to explain thermodynamics and show its relationship to information theory. This explanation makes the present book worth reading in its own right. Ben-NaimaEURO (TM)s discussion of the information basis of the second law is lucid and well worth reading.'CHOICEThis book provides a clear and mystery-free presentation of the central concepts in thermodynamics - probability, entropy, Helmholtz energy and Gibbs energy.

It aims to tickle, and hopefully to satisfy your curiosity.
