Not bad as far as a thermodynamics text goes. Covers both classical thermo dynamics and statistical mechanics. The math is generally concise and easy to follow (albeit with judicious unrigourous sweeping of terms under the rug... usually fair due to very very large numbers being used in the statistics), and the verbal descriptions are decent. The authors constant use of "I" was a bit strange to me. Though I nearly read this book cover to cover, I am still not thoroughly convinced on the 2nd law. The theoretical and mathematical foundations are a bit sparse. ( )

Thermodynamics is a tricky subject and some textbooks have a hard time teaching. This books is explained very clearly while leaving enough up to the reader to figure out for themselves which is the only way to learn physics. Has some useful pseudocode on implementing some thermodynamic models. Pretty cover ( )
