From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas or the cooling of a hot metal, to the unfolding of a thought in our minds and even the course of life itself, everything is governed by the four Laws of Thermodynamics. These laws specify the nature of 'energy' and 'temperature', and are soon revealed to reach out and define the arrow of time itself: why things change and why death must come. In this Very Short Introduction Peter Atkins explains the basis and deeper implications of each law, highlighting their relevance in everyday examples. Using the minimum of mathematics, he introduces concepts such as entropy, free energy, and to the brink and beyond of the absolute zero temperature. These are not merely abstract ideas: they govern our lives. In this concise and compelling introduction Atkins paints a lucid picture of the four elegant laws that, between them, drive the Universe.

簡介性質，適閤高中生或本科生入門物理化學用
评分02/01/2013 - 16/01/2013 如果說stem cell還是偏科研的經典入門書話，這本熱力學就是very short introduction係列中科普書的典範。作者把抽象的概念通俗的解釋齣來。力薦！
评分錶述上並不是太簡潔
