Review: The best book on thermodynamics - Written by the legendary teacher L.K. Nash, this is the best introduction to thermodynamics you can buy, and Dover Publications make the book affordable. The author explains all confusing concepts (like entropy) with such clarity and detail that you will understand them forever. A large set of problems at the end will test your knowledge. I attended Prof. Nash's course 50 years ago, and it was fun! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,341,450 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #103 in Physical Chemistry #197 in Thermodynamics (Books) #971 in General Chemistry | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (13) | | Dimensions | 5.56 x 0.43 x 8.54 inches | | Edition | Second | | ISBN-10 | 0486446123 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0486446127 | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Dover Books on Chemistry | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | August 23, 2005 | | Publisher | Dover Publications | ## Images ![Elements of Chemical Thermodynamics: Second Edition (Dover Books on Chemistry) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NNCd8-W2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by D***S on September 28, 2016* A really good undergraduate introduction to the topic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on thermodynamics *by E***1 on July 24, 2013* Written by the legendary teacher L.K. Nash, this is the best introduction to thermodynamics you can buy, and Dover Publications make the book affordable. The author explains all confusing concepts (like entropy) with such clarity and detail that you will understand them forever. A large set of problems at the end will test your knowledge. I attended Prof. Nash's course 50 years ago, and it was fun! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best thermodynamics text that is also very cheap *by A***O on December 16, 2009* The book is great not only as a refresher course in thermodynamics, but also as the main text for learning. It does not shy away from the use of calculus formulations like other introductory texts, but at the same time it "holds your hands" in the derivation of formulas so even a beginner with little to no knowledge of thermodynamics but good working knowledge of basic integrals and differentiation, will grasp easily. There is even a math refresher in the index section to teach those concepts if they are weak to the readers. Nash is an eloquent writer, the language style used in this book feels like a school lecture without being overly strait-laced which is good because it keeps the reader interested throughout. His explanations are thorough and builds upon what was discussed previously so there is little page flipping as you read on. The examples given after some topics is a nice touch as it gives a good picture of what he is trying to say, too bad the questions in the back are very confusing and you are left to guess what he is asking, and more so how to solve it. So what is bad about this book? Not much. Nash decided to leave out the Maxwell Relations due to the "difficulty" of partial derivatives, which is such a shame because it conjures a whole new insight into thermodynamic relations. This and perhaps the poor wordings in the problem section are my only qualms with the book. Aside from those minor flaws, with the explanation of all 3 thermodynamic laws and other concepts such as state functions, reversibility; this book is second to none. With the way Nash explains, you will conceptualize those "elements" of thermodynamics with a much deeper understanding. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19082432-elements-of-chemical-thermodynamics-second-edition-dover-books-on-chemistry](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19082432-elements-of-chemical-thermodynamics-second-edition-dover-books-on-chemistry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
