Jack Hokikian, a real scientist in the true meaning of the word, has taken a difficult yet critically important subject and created a "must-read" book for anyone who cares about our future on this increasingly crowded planet. Dr. Hokikian clearly describes the Laws of Thermodynamics and uses them to explain the accelerating "rush to disorder" which we are all experiencing in our daily lives. Far from being a dry dissertation about little-understood laws of Physics, Dr. Hokikian's brilliant and entertaining book brings home with a loud bang the critical importance of understanding the impacts of our universe's immutable physical laws and why we, and particularly our leaders, must be made to fully understand these impacts. He uses many rivetting examples from real life to clearly illustrate the chaos and disorder around us along with equally clearly explained causes and effects.This beautiful book, in clear everyday language, spells out exactly why we see such increasing chaos and disorder around us and how we got to this point and how, once we understand this, we can slow down and perhaps even reverse this frightening process.The author, Dr. Hokikian is no wild-eyed "mad scientist" nor is he a fanatical "tree-hugger". He is a University Physics Professor, a successful professional engineer and a highly-respected Database Systems designer.I fully recommend this book to all who want to understand our world better. Practising scientists and engineers as well as laypersons with genuinely "inquiring minds" will gain tremendous insight and knowledge from this book while being entertained by Dr. Hokikian's lucid and elegant, non-patronizing writing style. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting perspectives. *by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2019* This book looked like it was stolen from a library (labeled on the spine) and had hand written notes on all pages! I would not have bought this had I known from the description.I did enjoy the book and the author opened my mind to many details on the chaos caused by short sighted advancements in technology. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Second Law of Thermodynamics rules supreme *by A***1 on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016* Together with gravitation, the laws of thermodynamics reign supreme in the Universe. The Second Law, the subject of this book, permeates everything Nature does as well as everything we do, including man-made systems of all kinds. Should be must-read to all, specially students of all kinds, including policy makers and journalists. After reading this book you will know what questions to ask. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/1698941-the-science-of-disorder-understanding-the-complexity-uncertainty-and-pollution](https://www.desertcart.it/products/1698941-the-science-of-disorder-understanding-the-complexity-uncertainty-and-pollution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
