The Second Law by Peter W Atkins
Moving from the steam engine to the nuclear age, Atkins shows how the second law of thermodynamics - a single, simple principle of energy transformation - encompasses all elements of natural change. His book features examples, ideas and images, but virtually no mathematics.-
