The book "Optimization Methods in Irreversible Thermodynamics and Microeconomics" by A. M. Cirlin is a unique work that combines two seemingly distant from each other worlds: thermodynamics and economics. However, the author masterfully shows how optimization methods applied in one area can be adapted and used in another, opening up new horizons for researchers and practitioners. In his work, Zirlin immerses the reader in the world of irreversible processes that occur in both thermodynamics and economics. He examines how inefficient processes and energy losses in thermodynamics can be compared with economic losses and inefficiencies in microeconomics. The book is filled with deep analytical reflections and practical examples that make it not only theoretically significant, but also practically useful. This work will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in economics and physics. If you study economic models or thermodynamic processes, then the book of Zirlin will be a real discovery for you. It will be useful to those who seek to understand how optimization can help in solving complex problems, whether in resource management or in the analysis of production processes. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of thermodynamics to complex economic models. The author not only explains the theoretical aspects, but also offers practical methods that can be applied in real conditions. This makes the book particularly valuable for those looking for ways to apply scientific knowledge in business and industry. Style A. M. Cirlin is clear and accessible, which allows the reader to easily assimilate complex concepts. He uses many examples and illustrations, which makes the material more clear and understandable. If you are familiar with his other works, such as “Thermodynamics and Economics: Parallels and Analogues” or “Optimizing Processes in Economics”, then you will be pleased to see how Cirlin continues to develop his ideas and delve into the study of the relationship between science and practice. The book also raises important philosophical questions about the nature of optimization and efficiency. How can we maximize results by minimizing costs? What are the limits of optimization in the real world where the laws of thermodynamics operate? These questions make reading not only cognitive, but also provocative, forcing us to think about how we make decisions in our lives and work. If you are looking for a deep and multifaceted study that combines physics and economics, then “Optimization Methods in Irreversible Thermodynamics and Microeconomics” will be a real find for you. This book will not only expand your horizons, but also help you look at familiar things from a new angle. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in a world where science meets practice, and theory becomes the basis for real solutions.
