Entropy Demystified The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense

"In this unique book, Arich 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." "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."--BOOK JACKET.Ben-Naim, Arieh is the author of 'Entropy Demystified The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense', published 2007 under ISBN 9789812700520 and ISBN 9812700528.
