R. Stephen Berry, James Franck Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, has a new book out with Yale University Press this March. Three Laws of Nature: A Little Book on Thermodynamics is a "short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics" based on a course Berry taught in the College.
"This concise and lucid book pays tribute to the utility and majesty of thermodynamics, evolved from puffs of steam to rank among the mightiest of the sciences," says Dudley Herschbach, 1986 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry.
