商品簡介
The energy crisis and the climate change crisis are really just twin manifestations of the entropy crisis, argues Deutscher (Tel Aviv U., Israel), who introduces the concept of entropy to a general audience in both intuitive and formal ways and proceeds to explain the role of human generated entropy in energy depletion and climate change. He argues that the entropy crisis can be solved through generating less entropy, both through technological means and through appropriate use of energy resources.
