A classic source for understanding the connections between information theory and physics, this text was written by one of the giants of 20th-century physics. Topics include the principles of coding, coding problems and solutions, the analysis of signals, a summary of thermodynamics, thermal agitation and Brownian motion, plus an examination of Maxwell's demon. 81 figures. 14 tables. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Academic Press, Inc., New York, 1962.
