This classic sets forth the fundamentals of thermodynamics clearly and simply enough to be understood by a beginning student, yet with enough subtlety and depth of thought to appeal also to more advanced readers. It elucidates fundamentals of kinetic theory and illustrates the Second Law of Thermodynamics with "Maxwell’s demon."

This is an awesome book!August 3, 2006 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Maxwell does a great job of explaining thermodynamics in a manner that is clear to anyone with a term of physics. This was written at a time when people took the time to show all of the steps.
Maxwell is one of the brightest stars of the physics universe and everything we do in our current culture is based on his work.
