Description
In Stochastic Thermodynamics, authors Luca Peliti and Simone Pigolotti delve into the fascinating intersection of thermodynamics and stochastic processes. This thought-provoking text introduces readers to the principles of thermodynamics through the lens of statistical mechanics, exploring how randomness influences physical systems at both microscopic and macroscopic levels.
The Story
The book navigates complex concepts with clarity, providing a comprehensive overview of topics such as fluctuation theorems, the role of noise in thermodynamic systems, and the implications of these phenomena in biological contexts. Through a range of examples and mathematical models, Peliti and Pigolotti illuminate the subtle yet profound ways in which stochasticity affects energy exchange and system behaviour.
