A Quality Book on Thermodynamics

I used this book in my undergraduate thermodynamics/statistical mechanics course. I found it to be quite good. It's fairly easy to read and provides enough detail to give the reader a good understanding of the material. The exercises are challenging enough to be useful, but not so difficult as to leave the reader feeling hopeless. I don't recall coming across many (if any) errors in the text or in the solutions. Perhaps the other reviewers who found lots of problems simply didn't understand how to arrive at the correct answer.

Excellent book for the Physics students

The is by far the best book on thermodynamics that I have read.It is often called as "the Bible" of Physics by students who are studying Physics at the undergradute and postgraduate level in Indian universities.Most concepts can be understood which can clear the doubts in the students mind.Such a book is very essential for them.
