Entropy – the key concept of thermodynamics, clearly explained and carefully illustrated. This book presents an accurate definition of entropy in classical thermodynamics which does not “put the cart before the horse” and is suitable for basic and advanced university courses in thermodynamics. Entropy is the most important and at the same time the most difficult term of thermodynamics to understand. Many students are discontent with its classical definition since it is either based on “temperature” and “heat” which both cannot be accurately defined without entropy, or since it includes concepts such as “molecular disorder” which does not ...

Reviews for The Entropy Principle. Thermodynamics for the Unsatisfied.
From the reviews: “This book attempts to describe the work of Elliott Lieb (mathematical physicist) and Jakob Yngvason (theoretical physicist) on entropy and the second law of thermodynamics from an axiomatic or logical point of view, without the need of the concept of temperature or heat engines. … a supplemental resource that can greatly enhance an understanding of entropy. ...
