Review: Thermal Physics

User Review  - Scwoolf - Goodreads

Statistical mechanics is probably the most elegant (and useful) physical theory I have encountered: you basically derive all of thermodynamics from scratch (or with the least objectionable set of ... Read full review

Review: Thermal Physics

User Review  - William - Goodreads

Thermodynamics is ridiculous. It isn't 1870 anymore. Use statistical mechanics. This book starts with statistical mechanics immediately. Use it. Then derive thermodynamics from first principles. Read full review
