Reviews

<p>From the reviews: <p><p> This volume, appropriately entitled Challenges, was a collaboration . It is extraordinarily well researched and beautifully organized; it may be approached on many levels by students and lay people . It should also be read by experienced theoretical physicists, chemists and mathematicians and by experimental physicists . The various typefaces, paper stock and binding are all good. With its many illustrations and few equations this book will be a useful supplement to any elementary course in thermodynamics . (Daniel C. Mattis, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 20 (3), 2006)<p> Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are two of the most difficult concepts for the student of physics. In the main, Challenges to the second law of thermodynamics is an excellent piece of work which should provide an adequate coverage of this intriguing topic to advanced students and researchers in physics. (P. Narayana Swamy, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 b)
