Summary
Thermodynamics: A Step-by-Step Introduction
It is well known that thermodynamics presents students with particular difficulties. They find the concepts evasive and the methods obscure. These problems arise because it is traditional to emphasize at the outset how general thermodynamics is. Unfortunately, when ideas are introduced in an unspecific context they fail to make contact with the student’s experience - such ideas do not become part of the physical intuition of the student.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘The book manifests a high degree of didactic ability and can be seen as a broadening of the spectum of basic thermodynamic textbooks. It is embellished with many practical and theoretical questions which enable the reader to test and deepen his level of knowledge at all times. The book is to be recommended for the beginner but also, because of many differentially treated subjects, for the expert.‘Physikalische Blätter, Vol. 51, Issue 1 January 1995
