Human thermodynamicist
In science, a human thermodynamicist is one who thermodynamically studies the activities of human beings. [1] A related term is entropologist defined as an anthropologist who entropically studies human beings.
Etymology
The term was first used online in 2005 by American chemical engineer Libb Thims. [2] The term was first used in book-form in the 2007 book Human Chemistry, in the chapter titled "Human Thermodynamics" by Thims. In particular, in the introductory section of the chapter, Thims stated that "the seven books that best qualify, i.e. comprise, the foundation of human thermodynamics are", as shown below:
He continues, "these seven fundamental books are the foundation of human thermodynamics. Any competent human thermodynamicist who builds on this set of core books will always theorize in the correct direction." [1]
