This is a textbook for the standard undergraduate-level course in thermal physics (sometimes called thermodynamics or statistical mechanics).

Originally published in 1999, it quickly gained market share and has now been the most widely used English-language text for such courses, as taught in physics departments, for more than a decade. It's clear and accessible writing style has also made it popular among graduate students and professionals who want to gain a better understanding of thermal physics.

The book explores applications to engineering, chemistry, biology, geology, atmospheric science, astrophysics, cosmology, and everyday life. It includes two appendices, reference data, an annotated bibliography, a complete index, and 486 homework problems.

Industry Reviews
I am a great admirer of Schroeder's book. While writing a graduate textbook in the subject, I studied many books in statistical mechanics, at various levels of sophistication. Of these, Schroeder's text stood out. Indeed, it was the only one I envied -- his sense of fun, his vivid explanations, and his deep insights into conceptual issues. * James P.
