Opis

A fresh and unified exploration of the laws that govern natural change, examining the historical roots and meaning of the concepts of energy and entropy. All natural processes-mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, and biological-are viewed as a flow across free energy gradients that interact with one another.

Recenzje

Professor Sherman's book provides students of physical chemistry with a highly readable introduction to the energetics of biological systems.
