The Four Laws That Do Not Drive The Universe

• This 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...

Modern Thermodynamics

• This textbook introduces thermodynamics with a modern approach, starting from four fundamental physical facts (the atomic nature of matter, the indistinguishability of atoms and molecules of the same species, the uncertainty principle, and the existence...

Time’s Arrow (?)

• This book is unique in the following senses:First, it provides three different, but equivalent definitions of Entropy.Second, it provides a simple, valid, and proven interpretation of Entropy, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics based on Shannon?s Measur...

Information Theory

• This book is about the definition of the Shannon measure of Information, and some derived quantities such as conditional information and mutual information. Unlike many books, which refer to the Shannon's Measure of information (SMI) as "Entropy,"...

The Briefest History Of Time

• The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know about time and about the history of time. It is shown that the briefest (as well as the lengthiest) history of time can be described in one or two pages.

Entropy

• This 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...

Myths And Verities In Protein Folding Theories

• This book tells the story of a whole field of research which went disastrously wrong in many different directions when the wrong tools were used and the wrong targets aimed at, to solve a problem.

Information, Entropy, Life And The Universe

• The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know and what we do not know about information and entropy — two of the most frequently discussed topics in recent literature — and whether they are relevant...

Discover Probability

• This is a unique book which explains the concept of probability and its applications with almost no mathematics. As the title states, the reader will discover the concept of probability, learn how to use it, and be made aware of some misuses of, and somet...

Water And Aqueous Solutions

• 474 páginas
• The molecular theory of water and aqueous solutions has only recently emerged as a new entity of research, although its roots may be found in age-old works. The purpose of this book is to present the molecular theory of aqueous fluids based on the framewo...

Statistical Thermodynamics

• The book presents a clear and unique approach to statistical thermodynamics based on Shannon's measure of information, and provides applications to problems of interest in the life sciences.

Statistical Thermodynamics For Chemists And Biochemists

• 716 páginas
• Aimed at graduate students and research scientists in a variety of disciplines, this work demostrates the use of statistical thermodynamics in designing experiments and interpreting their results.

Farewell To Entropy, A

• The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit..
