Some learners will be interested to read the essays on energy, entropy,
and entropy production by Swenson at this site:
http://www.entropylaw.com/index.html
In particular, I was intrigued by the graph at the top of this page:
http://www.entropylaw.com/thermoevolution3.html
It reminds me of the graphs at the top of http://www.dieoff.com with its
linking of evolution with energy sources: in the first case, O2, in the
second, fossil fuels.
At, I'll be curious if you have comments about Swenson's site,
particularly what he refers to as the Law of Maximization of Entropy
Production (LMEP).
Grins and best wishes,
