The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious
term "entropy" with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as
information, missing information or uncertainty. This replacement would
facilitate the interpretation of the "driving force" of many processes in terms
of informational changes and dispel the mystery that has always enshrouded
entropy.
