Summary
"This book provides a logical, didactic, and self-contained description of physical and chemical processes. Developed from first principles, Thermodynamics, Second Edition, is designed for individuals with prior exposure to this core topic in the physical sciences who wish to acquire a more sophisticated overview. An emphasis on fundamental principles, the relation between theory and experiment, and applications to a variety of disciplines will provide the reader with a more intuitive understanding of what is often regarded as difficult subject matter. Coverage includes topics that are not generally taken up in competing texts: Caratheodory's approach to the second law, the general theory of phase transitions, the origin of phase diagrams, the treatment of matter subjected to a variety of external fields, and the subject of irreversible thermodynamics."--Jacket.
