Entropy and the time evolution of macroscopic systems [electronic resource] / Walter T. Grandy, Jr. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2008. - 1 online resource (xiii, 209 p.). - International series of monographs on physics ; 141 . - International series of monographs on physics ; 141. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The work explicates the concept of entropy, particularly its governance of all of thermal physics, over a broad range of equilibrium and nonequilibrium phenomena. Historical development and modern research are presented in the context of entropy as a fundamental element of probability theory and its relation to information.
