About this title

Synopsis

Max the Demon vs Entropy of Doom is a fun-to-read scientific graphic novel which explains Energy, Heat and Entropy in a way that is accessible to all. Max is a character based on the mythical Maxwell's Demon, who is sent on a mission to help save Earth from environmental disaster. Max must learn the basic laws of thermodynamics directly from the historical giants of science: Count Rumford, Sadi Carnot, Ludwig Boltzmann, and Richard Feynman. Along the way there is suspense, villainy and near catastrophe, ending with a deeper understanding of the fascinating relation between Entropy and Information.
