More about the book

Focusing on the concept of entropy, this book argues that the energy crisis is fundamentally an entropy crisis. It introduces entropy in an accessible way, using everyday examples before delving into formal definitions. The text explains how the increase in entropy from irreversible transformations influences both the availability of fresh energy and environmental damage. It emphasizes that sustainable development relies on minimizing entropy increase through advanced technologies and effective societal organization, highlighting a new approach to energy supply and environmental protection.
