Summary: An impressive rational treatment of thermodynamics
Comment: This is a text most suited for a second course of thermodynamics or for graduate students. Its treatment of thermodynamics is much more rational and structured than most college thermodynamics texts. The authors reduce the postulates of thermodynamics to two basic principles, and derive the 0th to 2nd laws from them, as well as the state principle and even Newton's 2nd law. They go on to present basic thermodynamic principles generally following Caratheodory's approach. One major drawback of this book is, of course, its price. However, for libraries in technical colleges and universities, this book is a must.
