The Laws of Thermodynamics: A Very Short Introduction

From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal--everything is moved or restrained by four simple laws. Written by Peter Atkins, one of the world's leading authorities on thermodynamics, this powerful and compact introduction explains what these four laws are and how they work, using acc More »

[ 5.0 stars ] "An excellent example of the VSI format. A complex subject treated seriously by an expert in a very short form. This is an excellent overview. It is not a substitute for a textbook but serves as an informed overview of the field. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "Thermodynamics does not receive the attention it deserves in introductory science classes. This small book introduces the three laws of thermodynamics in detail and in order. Not only does it explain each one with traditional examples but it also gives a history of how they came to be. I recommend this book for the beginning Biology, Chemistry and Physics student before they start their core class ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "As far as living up to the standard of the "Very Short Introduction" series, Atkins' text does just that. It covers the targeted subject matter in a way that is not overly simplified, yet accessible. For example, the relevant equations are included, explanations of the symbols, and the meanings of the equations are explained. On the other hand, the mathematical formalism is kept to the abso ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "Having a large number of thermodynamics books already, I was moved to buy this one because of a comment in one of the reviews on the British site; a comment relating to negative temperatures which I did not believe would reflect the content of the book. When I received the book, I found, to my horror, that the review was correct and the author did refer to negative temperatures as being below abso ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "I'm an undergrad taking a thermodynamics course as part of a physics curriculum and part of me really wonders why this book isn't required reading for the class - for thermo classes everywhere. It's one of those books that you have to tell people about...I wish all my classmates had a copy because I know that if the pieces of thermodynamics are floating in your head, this can help you ..."
