'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
presents the concepts of entropy, free energy and various
formulations of the Second Law 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.The book
focuses on the Four Laws of Thermodynamics. As it is said in the
dedication page, this book is addressed to readers who might have
already been exposed to Atkins' book having a similar title. It
challenges both the title, and the contents of Atkins' book, Four
Laws That Drive The Universe. One can glean from the title of this
new book that the author's views are diametrically opposed to the
views of Atkins.The book is addressed to any curious and
intelligent reader. It aims to tickle, and hopefully to satisfy
your curiosity. It also aims to challenge your gray matter, and to
enrich your knowledge by telling you some facts and ideas regarding
the Four Laws of Thermodynamics.
