Hi everyone! My wiki name is Sadi Carnot, modeled after the famous French physicist Sadi Carnot, the founder of thermodynamics. My real name is Libb Thims and I’m just a guy trying to understand human life in relation to the rest of the universe. If you have any questions about this EoHT wiki send me an email, note, or query in the threads below.

A central driving intellectual interest of mine is to understand how human life operates, in all detail, from a thermodynamic point of view. In this direction, knowing that many people, throughout history (and in the present), have had a similar goal, in 2007 (see: progress report) I started this wiki encyclopedia of topics on the thermodynamics of human life, so that everyone interested can collaborate on articles and donate their thermodynamics knowledge, bit by bit, to the betterment of humankind.

Wikipedia
I was a Wikipedian during 2005-2007, with about 180+ articles and 8,500+ edits to my credit, but found that niche topics such as human thermodynamics, human chemistry, and human molecule didn't fit in well (there are no “firewalls” in Wikipedia), so I searched around for other wikis and eventually joined Wetpaint.

Education:
BS Chemical Engineering - University of Michigan
BS Electrical Engineering - University of Michigan
PhD Biochemistry / MD Neuroscience (in progress)

Publications:

• Thims, Libb. (2008). The Human Molecule, (120-pgs). Morrisville, NC: LuLu.
• Thims, Libb. (2007). Human Chemistry (Volume One), (preview), (392-pgs). Morrisville, NC: LuLu.

Unfinished manuscripts
The following collection of manuscripts were only written in rough-draft, single pass, outline form. Copies, numbered up to a dozen, for the human thermodynamics series, and up to one-hundred, for the cessation thermodynamics manuscript, were printed and bound by hand and distributed locally around Chicago (primarily) for feedback and first impression:

• Thims, Libb. (2002). Human Thermodynamics (Volume One). Chicago: Institute of Human Thermodynamics
• Thims, Libb. (2003). Human Thermodynamics (Volume Two). Chicago: Institute of Human Thermodynamics
• Thims, Libb. (2004). Human Thermodynamics (Volume Three). Chicago: Institute of Human Thermodynamics
• Thims, Libb. (2005). Cessation Thermodynamics. Chicago: Institute of Human Thermodynamics

Origin of human thermodynamics interest:
I began my thermodynamics interest in 1995 as an undergraduate chemical engineering student at the University of Michigan (see impetus behind section) who during my second year thermodynamics class began to wonder how one could theoretically predict reaction feasibilities between potential mates similar to how potential reaction spontaneity is calculated between chemical species using standard free energy tables.

In order to better understand how others, over the years, have attempted to apply the laws and principles of thermodynamics to human life I have resultantly amassed one of the world’s largest personal collections of human thermodynamics related books, which currently stands at over 200+ books and textbooks; a collection that seems to grow monthly.
