The best advanced introduction to the subject 2003-03-04
For someone who really wants to understand classical thermodynamics, this book by Howard Reiss can't be beat. Reiss faces the most difficult questions in the subject head on and answers them with thoughtful clarity.He avoids the common errors that almost all texts repeat in their treatments of entropy and covers both the Kelvin/Clausius and the Caratheodory versions of the subject. He covers thermodynamic potentials in a very consistent manner that makes them much more understandable. This is the text I always come back to when I need to review a topic or sharpen my thinking in this area.
