Editorial Review:
An informal readable introduction to the basic ideas of thermal physics. Aimed at making the reader feel comfortable with the extremum principles of entropy and free energies. Author illustrates how powerful the idea is by using two examples from phase transitions.

A very good overview 2006-02-25
This book deserves to be quoted for all the people who want to have a short and very physical introduction to the subject. The book remains at an introductory level but the author covers a lot of subjects without loosing the physical intuition or interpretation at every stage of the text. It is true that the book won't help the student to master the calculations of thermodynamics and statistical physics, but since the introduction the author is very honest on this . A list of the books which may be read to give a further insight on the different chapters is given at the end.
This book has been written to give to the reader a physical understanding of the subject and of the logic behind the mathematical methods generally used in the context of thermal physics.
Surely someone already trained in (statistical) thermodynamics will even more enjoy the reading of this book.
The book is short, easy to read and not expensive (a quality which is not negligible for a science book). For my opinion it is a little jewel.
