An excerpt, "... When Assa Auerbach and illustrator Richard Codor first set out to publish the work, they thought they would share it with their colleagues at other universities, but then their kids started to read it and they realized they had something much larger in their hands...."
]]>Professor Douglas Natelson discusses the challenge of explaining condensed matter physics on a popular level in an engaging way. He then critiques Max the Demon vs Entropy of Doom: " ... a definite good review from a tough crowd, and efforts like this should be applauded - overall I was very impressed."
]]>Thanks to Adam Benoit for his winning idea!

A partial translation"
"The story explains entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, (almost) without formulas, and with well-drawn illustrations. The reader is drawn to the fascinating plot of superhero, Max the Demon, who is sent to save the world from threatening troubles: global warming, air pollution, and so on. The plot is fictional and funny, but science is true. Historical physicists such as Boltzmann, Carnot and Feynman, participate. The ending is surprising and thought-provoking! Readers aged 15 and over testified that they enjoyed the book and understood the science well."
