As some of you may be aware, I'm the author of "Thermodynamics and Chemistry," a textbook designed for a one-semester course of classical thermodynamics. The first edition was published in 2001 by Prentice Hall.
I have now finished a revised and expanded second edition in the form of a PDF file that I invite you to download WITHOUT CHARGE OR OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND.
The textbook revision has been a labor of love. If you teach physical chemistry, or have an interest in thermodynamics, I hope you will find the new edition useful. I'm making it free of charge as an antidote to the exorbitant cost of commercially-published textbooks. In return, I ask for nothing except perhaps suggestions for improvements of future versions.
