Reviews
From the reviews:
“A clear, concise and well presented descriptions of the modern topics of equilibrium thermodynamics. Discussions on these modern topics make this book unique among various other books on the subject. Also, the up-to-date references for each topic at the end of the book are valuable for further studies of the subject. The scholarly presentation of each topic in the book makes it a smooth reading. The book may serve as a standard graduate text for students and researchers interested in an advanced course in thermodynamics.” (K. N. Shukla, zbMATH, Vol. 1277, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
