Excerpt from Entropy as a Tangible Conception: An Elementary Treatise on the Physical Aspects of Heat, Entropy, and Thermal Inertia
This little book was written primarily for the use of lecturers and students, but it should appeal also to that wider circle of Engineers, Designers, and others who have already studied the subject on which it briefly touches, and have become familiar with the various prob lems, processes, and truths to which it refers, as actualities of frequent occurrence and practical contact rather than as mere theories.
