In animate thermodynamics, Daniel Schroeder (c.1962-) is an American high-energy physicist noted for []

Overview
In 2000, Schroeder, in his An Introduction to Thermal Physics, included a diagram that explains the “creation” of a rabbit (or human) in chemical thermodynamic terms, namely that: [1]

“To create a rabbit [or human] out of nothing and place it on the table, the magician need not summon up the entire enthalpy, H = U + PV. Some energy, equal to TS, can flow in spontaneously as heat; the magician must provide only the difference, G = H – TS, as work.”

Education
Schroeder completed his BS (in physics?) at Carleton College in 1984, his PhD at Stanford University, with the 1990 dissertation “Beamstrahlung and QED backgrounds at future linear colliders”, done at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, after which he then taught physics at Pomona College, Grinnell College, and since 1993 has been a physics professor at Weber State University, Utah.
