From the reviews:"Tahir-Kheli ... is to be commended for covering a wide array of thermodynamics topics ranging from classical to statistical subjects. ... He engages the reader with many well-stated exercises followed by detailed solutions. ... a must for science and engineering graduate students engaged in theoretical and experimental thermodynamics and statistical mechanics research; it solidly provides a wide range of relationships that may be pivotal in that field and other related areas such as biophysics and bioengineering. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (R. N. Laoulache, Choice, Vol. 50 (7), March, 2013)
