Release Notes

Biological Thermodynamics provides an introduction to the study of energy
transformations for students of the biological sciences. Donald Haynie uses an
informal writing style to introduce this core subject in a manner that will
appeal to biology and biochemistry undergraduate students. The emphasis of the
text is placed on understanding basic concepts and developing problem-solving
skills throughout the text. The level of mathematical complexity is kept to a
minimum. Each chapter provides numerous examples taken from different areas of
biochemistry, as well as extensive exercises to aid understanding. Topics
covered include energy and its transformation, the First Law of Thermodynamics,
the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Gibbs Free Energy, statistical thermodynamics,
binding equilibria and reaction kinetics, and a survey of the most exciting
areas of biological thermodynamics today, particularly the origin of life on
Earth.
