5.0 out of 5 stars
A thoughtful and profound look at thermodynamics,
By
This review is from: Entropy in Relation to Incomplete Knowledge (Hardcover)
This slim volume provides a technical investigation into the foundations of thermodynamics, including the ties between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, and the fundamental probabilistic assumptions that are needed (ergodic theory is explicitly pushed to the side). Though the book is technically detailed, it does not assume too much knowledge on the part of the reader; a quick crash course on the mathematical machinery of quantum mechanics is included in the appendix, for example. As a final note, after one has read this book it is worth looking up a critical review of it by Huw Price, in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science.
