Description

Explore the legendary thought experiment that challenged the second law of thermodynamics. Published by Princeton University Press as part of the Princeton Series in Physics, this book examines the historical and scientific impact of James Clerk Maxwell's hypothetical demon. For over 120 years, this concept has influenced the development of statistical and quantum physics, information theory, and computer science. The text traces the connections between the demon and various scientific disciplines, making it a relevant resource for physical scientists, engineers, and computer scientists. It also provides context for biologists, psychologists, and historians of science interested in the evolution of these fundamental theories.
