Information

The world is awash in information, from our personal communications to the vastness of the internet and beyond. But what is information, really, and how do we measure it? In "Information: The New Language of Science", Hans Christian Von Baeyer explores these questions and more in a fascinating primer for the information age. Taking readers on a journey through the history of information theory, von Baeyer delves into the mathematical and philosophical underpinnings of what we mean by "information" and how it has changed over time. With clear explanations and engaging examples, he shows how the ever-expanding presence of information in our lives is transforming science, society, and the very nature of human thought. For anyone curious about the world around them, "Information" is an essential read.
