Journal of Human ThermodynamicsThis is a featured page

JHT cover (2010)In thermodynamics journals, the Journal of Human Thermodynamics (JHT) is a semi-annual publication of articles on topics related to the thermodynamics of human life, from atoms, entropy, relationships, society, to wealth, etc., as well as place for book reviews on recently-published human thermodynamics related books. [1] The JHT is an open-access, free of charge, online journal maintained by the Institute of Human Thermodynamics. The JHT was conceived and started in 2005 by American chemical engineer Libb Thims. The JHT, is a periodic publication of articles on thermodynamics and its applications to human life as contributed by human thermodynamicists, and related researchers, scientists, and writers in the field.

Motto
The 2005-present motto of the JHT is:


“To Promote the Art and Science of Human Thermodynamics for the Betterment of the Human Kind.”

which, of course, is a spin on the Nobel Prize motto. In 2012 retrospect reflection, knowing that thermodynamics and physical science in general is strongly deterministic, meaning that the fate of humankind is already determined, a more apt motto might be:

“To Promote the Art and Science of Human Thermodynamics for the Better Understanding of Human Existence.”

ISSN
The ISSN for the JHT is 1559-386X as registered with the US ISSN Center and listed in the OCLC. [2] The JHT is listed in Ulrich's Periodical Directory under category "energy". [3]

The JHT beta wikiExternal link icon (c) was launched in 2011 to facilitate open review and open wiki article improvement.
Fisher variable table (1892)
American economisit Irving Fisher's economics thermodynamics variable table, from his 1892 PhD dissertation Mathematical Investigations into the Theory of Value and Prices, described by Paul Samuelson as "the best of all doctoral dissertations in economics", the content of which was heavily influenced by the physics, chemical thermodynamics, and vector analysis teachings of his advisor, American engineer Willard Gibbs.

Variables table
In 2011, following the discovery of American economisit Irving Fisher's economics thermodynamics variable table, shown adjacent, wherein Fisher defines a human as a "particle" (see: human particle), as found in American physical economics historian Philip Mirowski's 1989 More Heat Than Light, JHT founder Libb Thims began to request human thermodynamics variables table from submitting authors, so to (a) define what exactly the view the human to be, in their models, and (b) to define exactly how they see or view every other "variable" (or property) in their article, so to keep presentations away or aloof from obfuscation, misrepresentation, and or confusion.

Jim Grove’s new beta-stage JHT article "A Science of Social Power" has now been formatted and improved and I would like to extend the invitation for those interested parties to give feedback or criticism to Jim in the thread section below his article:

http://eohtbeta.wetpaint.com/page/A+Science+of+Social+Power+|+Beta

Ideally, once we get several constructive criticism review comments, the article would then seem to be likely ready for finalized JHT publication.
