IB thermodynamics: Textbook


You are very unhappy about the textbook being out of print. One comment on the feedback form said I was obtuse. Ouch!

One alternative (also out of print, but many College libraries have it) is Adkins, Thermal Physics (Hodder and Stoughton, 1976). The CUP edition (1987) is basically a reprint of this one, with almost the same pagination.

Another alternative is Ralph Baierlein, Thermal Physics (CUP, 1999). It is 400-plus pages, and has much more material than Adkins, Thermal Physics or than this course needs. But the explanations are good. It is in print at GBP 32.99 and should be at the CUP bookshop; there you get 20 percent off by showing your University card.
