"Blurb & Contents" Market: Physicists, astronomers, chemists,
engineers, and graduate students. "Martin Bailyn's Survey is a
marvelous resource for any teacher of thermal physics....The
writing is clear; the references are extensive. If the textbook
from which you are teaching leaves you dissatisfied with its
treatment of a specific topic, Bailyn's compendium is a good place
to look for a different or a deeper presentation." American Journal
of Physics This work presents the application and theory of
thermodynamics, including its formation according to statistical
mechanics and its extension into Special Relativity. A unique
feature of this book is the addition of the history of
thermodynamics, designed to illustrate and emphasize the
development of present day concepts. This book provides valuable
insights into how these concepts evolved by discussing the
pioneering work of Galileo, Clasuius, Kelvin, and others. The
inclusion of both a complete survey of the subject, and an
historical background (not found in other books) make this a
valuable reference for individuals and graduate students. Partial
Contents: 1. Temperature and equilibrium. 2. Heat and work. 3. The
