Mar 16, 2010 - You may recall learning about the second law of thermodynamics, the unwavering propensity of energy to disperse and, in doing so, transition from high quality to low quality forms—“increasing entropy,” to use the physicists' preferred term. I do not Humans transform energy from food into motion, heat, and thought. University of Chicago Press, Chicago. It literally does not account for energy flows or entropy. The energy we expend during a day comes from the food we eat. Feb 4, 2012 - Into the Cool: Energy Flow, Thermodynamics, and Life, University of Chicago Press. Bottleneck: Humanity's Impending Impasse, Xlibris. [4] See: Catton, William (2009). [5] Eric Schneider and Dorion Sagan, Into the Cool, Energy Flow, Thermodynamics and Life, University of Chicago Press, 2005. Dec 25, 2013 - It is obvious that we are not marionettes and that life forms are governed by laws of thermodynamics, but what is less obvious is the force that set these laws in motion. High quality in this case refers to energy that can be put to use for a variety of purposes, . A typical energy intake from food is 2,500 food calories per day. Oct 8, 2012 - 'Into the Cool: Energy Flow, Thermodynamics and Life' sounds very similar in scope to Howard T Odum's book, 'Environment, Power and Society', published in 1971, both in search of general organizing principles.
