This vibrant book takes the reader on an exciting journey through much of physical sciences by explaining the wide ranging influence of a single equation, the Boltzmann factor. This simple relation pr
Schrier does not intend to replace any of the many textbooks on applying thermodynamics and quantum mechanics to chemical problems, indeed he expects students already to have read the relevant port
Retired from teaching now, Bless (astronomy, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) updates his textbook for a one-semester course introducing astronomy to liberal arts students. He describes the historical context

Chemists Hanson and Green (both St. Olaf College, Minnesota) offer to other instructors the material they use in a first--and in most cases only--undergraduate course in thermodynamics. They use simpl
The popular notion is that the space between stars--besides the odd planet or two--is pretty much nothing at all, but astrophysicists have been looking at interstellar ions, atoms, molecules, and soli
Covers the principles of quantum mechanics and engages those principles in the development of thermodynamics. Coverage includes the properties of gases, the First Law of Thermodynamics, a molecular i
Most descriptions of climatic modeling assume readers to have a great deal of previous knowledge about atmospheric or ocean dynamics, but Washington (US National Center for Atmospheric Research) and P
