It isn't clear to me what has given you the impression that I do not understand that the entropy of an unisolated system can increase, at the expense of it's surroundings, or that I am ignoring the fact. If you would care to site the specific passage(s) from my text in which it seems evident that I do not understand the above, I will be glad to address the matter with you, and (if necessary) adjust the text to eliminate any ambiguity concerning this issue. Thank you in advance...
