A FAREWELL TO ENTROPY: Statistical Thermodynamics Based on
Information. By Arieh Ben-Naim
"Product Description: 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."

An alternative Product Description: The principal message of this book
is that hypnotists in Einstein criminal cult (in the present context
"Clausius criminal cult" would be more appropriate) will benefit from
replacing the misleading and mysterious term entropy with a more
familiar, even trivial but irrelevant term such as information,
missing information or uncertainty. This replacement would
additionally confuse the interpretation of of many processes and
superpose another mystery on the original mystery that has always
enshrouded entropy.
