- Summary
- "This book provides a general introduction to non-equilibrium thermodynamics as it applies to life, the Earth system, planetary processes, and Astrobiology. Specifically, the principles of Minimum and Maximum Entropy Production are explained as well as associated concepts of macroscopic reproducibility - the key concept behind thermodynamics - and self-organized criticality. The relevance of these principles in understanding emergent behavior in complex dissipative systems is demonstrated by a range of examples, such as turbulence and heat transport in climate systems, the evolution of landscapes, atmosphere-biosphere interactions, and the Gaia hypothesis."--BOOK JACKET
