Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics

I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this book. It was required for a graduate course on thermodynamics, and I found it very easy to read and the problems were helpful. My previous experience in thermodynamics was with Engel and Reid's Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, & Kinetics, which took an approach that focused on the laws of thermodynamics. I much preferred the postulaic approach. It was more intuitive and mathematical. I understood thermodynamics much better in this context, since you are introduced to properties was mathematical relations instead of immediately presenting physical interpretation without the formalism. Some of the figures have typos, I think. There were a couple axes that didn't make any sense. But all in all, excellent textbook!

Totally used this book for a graduate class, that helped me tremendously!! was a must have!! this book helped me get an A+ in the class!! Shipping was super fast!! would totally recommend to anyone!!!

Purchased as a personal improvement read. Sound reasoning and good plotline.

Even though the book I received was Callen 2nd edition and same printing number as a lot of other people in my book. A lot of my book had deviations from my classmates and some outright wrong formulas. Make sure you get the light colored Callen book.

This is one of the best books for introductory thermodynamics. It was one of the textbooks for my first graduate level thermo course. It is very readable with no requirement of high level mathematics. In my opinion, it is a perfect starting point for anybody who has a basic knowledge in science. Both my friend and I were regretting not to have known about this book during our undergraduate years. I love its presentation of entropy -- it is very unique and easy to grasp.

This book is a must have for understanding thermodynamics. It is well written and covers a lot of ground, giving you a good lay of the land. Simply amazing.

Arrived quickly and book was in good condition

I had great expectations on this book (by reference of my friends) , and certainly, did not disappoint me at all: this is a fundamental book at the time to study in depth thermodynamics. Thank you very much, Professor Callen
