Other Books on Entropy for Physics Enthusiasts

Hello! Could you please recommend me some good books about entropy for physics enthusiasts (someone who doesn't know physics but wants to learn about this)? Thank you!

I would recommend to start with Harvey S. Leff's website "All about energy and entropy".

Thank you. I see in the Amazon description: "It can be used as a supplementary material for teaching thermodynamics and statistical physics at an undergraduate or postgraduate level and can be a great read for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Sciences and Engineering." Would this be suitable for someone who doesn't know physics?

Thank you. By looking at the content it looks quite advanced for someone with no physics background. Are you sure it is suitable for that? I was looking more for a book similar to "A Brief History of Time".

I think it would, because it doesn't contain much math. It's quite intuitive and is largely based on common sense.
