Media Reviews
His engaging account...the lucid figures offer readers a firm understanding of energy and entropy. * Science *
Concise, well-written, engaging and carefully structured... an enjoyable and informative read. * Chemistry World *
Peter Atkins's account of the core concepts of thermodynamics is beautifully crafted. * Simon Mitton, THES *
A brief and invigoratingly limpid guide to the laws of thermodynamics. * Saturday Guardian *
Atkins's systematic foundations should go a long way towards easing confusion about the subject...an engaging book, just the right length (and depth) for an absorbing, informative read. * Mark Haw, Nature *
[Atkins'] ultra-compact guide to thermodynamics [is] a wonderful book that I wish I had read at university. * New Scientist *
