Nobel Laureate's brilliant attempt to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.). Discussions of Nernst theorem, Planck's oscillator, fluctuations, the n-particle problem, problem of radiation, much more.
The Analytical Theory of Heat by Joseph Fourier Landmark publication that first showed how any discontinuous function could be represented by a trigonometric series and advanced many other concepts of modern mathematical physics, in unabridged 1878 Freeman translation
Thermodynamics by Enrico Fermi In this classic of modern science, the Nobel Laureate presents a clear treatment of systems, the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, entropy, thermodynamic potentials, and much more. Calculus required.
Physics of Shock Waves and High-Temperature Hydrodynamic Phenomena by Ya. B. Zel’dovich, Yu. P. Raizer Physical, chemical processes in gases at high temperatures are focus of outstanding text, which combines material from gas dynamics, shock-wave theory, thermodynamics and statistical physics, other fields. 284 illustrations. 1966–1967 edition.
Principles of Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics by D. F. Lawden A thorough exploration of the universal principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, this volume takes an applications-oriented approach to a multitude of situations arising in physics and engineering. 1987 edition.
