The Good Life in the Scientific Revolution: Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz, and the Cultivation of Virtue

Awesome book for a look at statistical mechanics through Boltzmann's work; good for rigorous outsiders. If you've ever had a physicist tell you entropy is "disorder" and not known what they're talking about, (and more crucially, wanted to know), this should straighten things out somewhat about the mathematics of decay. You might want to know some vector calculus and probability but probably don't strictly need it to get something out of the book. Made Boltzmann my favorite physicist.
