Cambridge elements. Elements in the philosophy of physics.
Contents Three ways to define randomness and disorder -- Two approaches to entropy -- Two versions of the second law -- Three arrows of time
Summary "The Element reconstructs, analyses and compares different derivational routes to a grounding of the Arrow of Time in entropy. It demonstrates that it is unlikely that high entropy states will coincide with visible disorder, thus disputing any link between the Arrow of Time and visible disorder"-- Provided by publisher
