Trumping the Trumps: Addressing complexities through biological rationality Version 1
In this short book written by Hans V. Westerhoff, it is argued that scientific rationality as further developed in systems biology should be used to tackle the complex problems of society. This is promoted as one way to battle the disinformation strategies followed by a great many political leaders with the aim of staying in power through populism.

This is research programme towards the production of a collection of Chapters for a book on thermodynamics, kinetics and systems biology that is being written by Hans V. Westerhoff. This book will be a successor to 'Thermodynamics and control of biological free-energy transduction, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1987) by Westerhoff, H.V. & Van Dam, K.

A chapter on generalized thermodynamics. The chapter is not specifically about biology although it uses many examples in biology due to the richness of the topic. It deals with the first and second law of thermodynamics, catalysts, and engines. This includes heat engines, heat pumps, and protonmotive ATP synthase.
