Could a "Heat Death" be Necessary for Life?

A brief collection of essays and poems, some previously published. The title essay concerns the second law of thermodynamics, often referred to as "entropy." This is traditionally thought of as disorder in nature but it actually plays countless roles in evolution and life. The theoretical heat death of the universe in trillions of years is a projected state of complete disorder and entropy, but I have noticed the way in which even this far flung possible event seems to allow for our existence in the here and now. Rated 5 stars on Goodreads and currently under consideration for review in The Skeptical Inquirer Magazine. Available for a tad over 5 dollars plus shipping and handling on Createspace, and as en eBook on Amazon.
