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 background to their discovery. Applications are
presented to subjects as diverse as stellar astrophysics,
information and communication theory, condensed matter physics and
climate change. Each chapter concludes with detailed exercises.
The second edition of this popular textbook maintains the structure
and lively style of the first edition but extends its coverage of
thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to include several new
topics, including osmosis, diffusion problems, Bayes theorem,
radiative transfer, the Ising model and Monte Carlo methods. New
examples and exercises have been added throughout.
