Statistical Thermodynamics by Andrew Maczek
Statistical thermodynamics exploits our ability to move from the unpredictable and chaotic behaviour of individual particles (molecules) to an understanding of the highly predictable and reproducible average behaviour of very large numbers of molecules. It is on this predictability that most of the fabric of modern technological life depends.
'It is becoming harder to reach the more mathematical aspects of physical chemistry in a meaningful way, and any new publication that may provide assistance is very welcomeThis is particularly so when it is in the series of Oxford Chemistry Primers, which have gained a reputation for covering important material at an appropriate level and affordable cost...this is a useful book that students will be able to afford.' Paul C. Yates, Chemistry in Britain, Nov. 1998. 'This introduction to statistical mechanics is outstanding for the clarity with which the subject is developed and the ideas explained...The book is outstanding value.' C. J. Wormald, Education in Chemistry
