Written by leading researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, the book presents a first coherent account of an emerging field at the interface of thermodynamics, geoph

Specifically, we suggest two examples demonstrating the existence of MEP states associated with biotic activity and the Earth’s planetary albedo. We close with a discussion of how this research can be extended and what the implications of biotic MEP states would be for understanding the dynamics of the Earth system.
