"The book is excellent at capturing and keeping the interest of the reader. The historical perspective and the biographical sketches of the major developers of thermodynamics are exceptionally good." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, January 5, 2009)
Endlich ein Lehrbuch der modernen Thermodynamik speziell fur Studenten im Grundstudium! Nach der Einfuhrung des Formelgebaudes und seiner wichtigsten Anwendungen bietet der Autor eine Palette spezieller Kapitel zur Auswahl nach den Interessen des Lesers oder den Schwerpunkten des Kurses: Warmestrahlung, biologische Systeme, Nanosysteme, klassische Stabilitatstheorie, statistische Thermodynamik. Losungen fur die zahlreichen Beispiele und Ubungen konnen von einem zugehorigen Webserver heruntergeladen werden, der au?erdem interessante Links zu Datensammlungen und relevanten Ressourcen bietet.
