This book provides an innovative bridge between traditional and statistical approaches to thermodynamics. It is written from an experimental perspective and avoids the basic difficulties and inconsistencies of traditional presentations. The author elucidates the basic concepts of macroscopic thermodynamics using familiar systems of mechanics and electricity before addressing the particular features of thermal energy phenomena.
