The answers are not always in the Questions!! 
As a physics major going back to school after a long hiatus, I needed this book to review for a thermal physics class. I wanted to study on my own in preparation for the course, but I am having trouble with the subject, only because I don't know if my solutions are correct or not. specially the applied problems which have numerical answers, but the book does not provide a way to check them. It reads ok, it could use more examples; I think the author took the easy way out by omitting many examples that could clear up some of the confusions. Answers are a must for any textbook at this level,or any level for that matter.

Mmmmm, Thermal Physics 
Great book, scratch that, fantastic book. Compared to my HJ Pain Waves and Vibrations book, it's absolutely incredible. The author goes through each step clearly, and as well as explaining how he does it, explains why he does it. So many books today just give derivations(HJ Pain) and never actually explain why they do them. A must have if your into thermal physics, or if you need it for a class. Probably the latter.

good buy
the time arrived on time, and was in the condition that the seller stated.

Clearly written but few worked examples 
This text is very well written with clear explanations and succinct abstractions to aid in thinking about the material. The only shortcoming is the lack of worked problems which can be gotten from any other text. If you can't picture the processes of thermo well enough to set up a problem correctly, then give this book a try. I use it along with Baierlein's book and Fermi's Dover version.

Good Book
This is a well written textbook. I hadn't thought this when I first used it, but after reading other books on the subject, I realized that this is the best there is. Between reading the text and doing the chapter problems, you should be able to develop a good understanding of thermodynamics and statistical physics.
