College of William and Mary Chancellor Professor of Physics Hans Christian von Baeyer authored a book entitled Information: The New Language of Science. In chapter one (as exemplified in the following excerpt from page ten), the author introduces the book's subject: information.

What, exactly, is information? Is it a scientifically useful idea? Can it be measured? Will it yield to mathematical analysis? Such questions are the stuff of this book.

A paperback edition was issued in Cambridge, Mass. by Harvard University Press in 2004 with ISBN 0-674-01387-5.
