Reviews

From the reviews:“Energy and Entropy offers an interesting approach to combining classical and statistical thermodynamics. … Starzak (chemistry, SUNY Binghamton) frequently mixes statistical examples into the portions of the text that deal with classical thermodynamics. … The end-of-chapter problems encourage students to apply what they have learned, with worked-out solutions provided at the end of the book. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (H. Giesche, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), August, 2010)
