The text is copiously illustrated and each chapter contains several worked examples. - ;An understanding of thermal physics is crucial to much of modern physics, chemistry and engineering. This book provides a modern introduction to the main principles that are foundational to thermal physics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. The key concepts are carefully presented in a clear way, and new ideas are illustrated with copious worked examples as well as a description of the historical b 606 $aHeat 606 $aStatistical mechanics 606 $aThermodynamics 615 0$aHeat. 615 0$aStatistical mechanics. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 676 $a536 700 $aBlundell$b Stephen$f1967-$066653 701 $aBlundell$b Katherine M$0785810 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778255903321 996 $aConcepts in thermal physics$91749541 997 $aUNINA
