The world had evolved into a small studio apartment where the tenants were no longer capable of rational thought nor compassion for each other. Claustrophobia became the soup of the day--every day. It was just a matter of time before the disintegration was complete, when the ominous kismet would at last disconnect the dots. And those chosen few who had unlocked secrets that were never meant to be revealed, looked on in horror from a more spacious apartment...hopelessly rooting for the underdogs who seemed destined to lose.

The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious term entropy with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as information, missing information or uncertainty. This replacement would facilitate the interpretation of the driving force of many processes in terms of informational changes and dispel the mystery that has always enshrouded entropy. It has been 140 years since Clausius coined the term entropy ; almost 50 years since Shannon developed the mathematical theory of infor

Harold Morowitz has long been regarded highly both as an eminent scientist and as an accomplished science writer. The essays in The Wine of Life, his first collection, were hailed by C.P. Snow as "some of the wisest, wittiest and best informed that I have read," and Carl Sagan called them "a delight to read." In later volumes such as Mayonnaise and the Origin of Life and The Thermodynamics of Pizza, he has established a reputation for a wide-ranging intellect, an ability to see unexpected connections and draw striking parallels, and a talent for communicating scientific ideas with optimism and
