Thermal Physics, written by David Goodstein, is a comprehensive textbook suitable for undergraduate courses. The book provides an introduction to thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the study of matter. It covers the behavior of thermodynamic variables, partial derivatives, states of matter, phase transitions, the ideal gas equation, and the behavior of the atmosphere. Additionally, it delves into the origin and meaning of the laws of thermodynamics, Carnot engines and refrigerators, reversibility, partition function, density of states, energy functions, and advanced topics such as particle interactions and equations for gases of varying densities.
Emphasizing intuitive and qualitative descriptions over extensive mathematical derivations, the textbook includes numerous problems and worked examples to aid readers in understanding the subject.
