Energy, Entropy, and the Flow of Nature presents the essential
principles of energetics (thermodynamics) in a straight-forward,
easy to understand, and logically-consistent manner. As a student
of physical chemistry and as a professor and researcher in
biochemistry, physiology, and general biology, the author has seen
the problems that arise for students, teachers, and researchers in
mastering the laws of thermodynamics. These difficulties can be
alleviated by a careful consideration of the historical roots of
the ideas involved, and by recognizing that all natural change can
be understood as a flow across a gradient of some kind. Part of the
effect of every flow is to diminish its own gradient, but the
decrease of one gradient can drive an increase in another. The
book's mission is to build a solid understanding of the fundamental
concepts of energetics and a confidence in going forth into the
many areas that the study of energy opens up. In their
applications, the laws of energy and entropy can often involve
highly challenging problems and calculations, but the fundamental
concepts addressed in this book are easy to understand and require
relatively little mathematics.
