{"product_id":"mother-natures-two-laws-denny-kirwan-9789810243142","title":"Mother Nature's Two Laws: Ringmasters for Circus Earth - Lesson on Entropy, Energy, Critical Thinking, and the Practice of Science","description":"Every day brings a fresh barrage of bewildering claims about science and technology. How non-scientists tell the difference between the hyperbole and those developments that are important? With a modest amount of critical thinking, an understanding of how science is practiced, and a qualitative understanding of the two most sacred principles in science -- the first and second laws of thermodynamics -- anyone can make the distinction. Critical thinking and the practice of science are not emphasized in undergraduate science courses for non-scientists, while exposure to the first and second laws is usually reserved for physical science and engineering majors. This book introduces non-scientists to these topics and provides detailed applications to a variety of topics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denny Kirwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810243146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810243142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 6.40w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1827","brand":"Denny Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448098140415,"sku":"9789810243142","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_987066cd-9a7e-420a-a398-b0b2807e38cb.jpg?v=1777236879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mother-natures-two-laws-denny-kirwan-9789810243142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
