Information, Entropy, Life, and the Universe : What We Know and what We Do Not Know

Entropy is commonly interpreted as a measure of disorder. This interpretation has caused a great amount of "disorder" in the literature.This book explains what information theory is and how it is related to thermodynamic entropy. Then it examines the application of these concepts to the question of "What is life?" and whether or not they can be applied to the entire universe.
