This interpretation has caused a great amount of 'disorder' in the literature. One of the aims of this book is to put some 'order' in this 'disorder'.The book explains with minimum amount of mathematics what information theory is and how it is related to thermodynamic entropy. Then it critically examines the application of these concepts to the question of 'What is life?' and whether or not they can be applied to the entire universe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: SGType: EducationRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
