From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas or the cooling of a hot metal, to the unfolding of a thought in our minds and even the course of life itself, everything is governed by the four Laws of Thermodynamics. These laws specify the nature of 'energy' and 'temperature', and are soon revealed to reach out and define the arrow of time itself: why things change and why death must come. In this Very Short Introduction Peter Atkins explains the basis and deeper implications of each law, highlighting their relevance in everyday examples. Using the minimum of mathematics, he introduces concepts such as entropy, free energy, and to the brink and beyond of the absolute zero temperature. These are not merely abstract ideas: they govern our lives. In this concise and compelling introduction Atkins paints a lucid picture of the four elegant laws that, between them, drive the Universe.

简介性质，适合高中生或本科生入门物理化学用

02/01/2013 - 16/01/2013 如果说stem cell还是偏科研的经典入门书话，这本热力学就是very short introduction系列中科普书的典范。作者把抽象的概念通俗的解释出来。力荐！

真心是无法找到更精简的描述了 如果 我说如果当年我读本科的时候也曾读过这样一本入门书的话 那该是多美好的事情
