Editors:
- An up-to-date, coherent and balanced account of the study of entropy production in non-equilibrium systems
- With particular emphasis on the theoretical basis of MaxEP, its relation to other non-equilibrium principles such as Minimum Entropy Production and the Fluctuation Theorem, and its many applications to diverse fields that include cosmology, Earth system science, climatology, fluid mechanics, biological function and evolution
- Written by world-leading experts from diverse disciplines
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems (UCS)
