Summary: | In this unique book, Arieh 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. Written in an accessible style, the book guid.
