This is pretty good however the language that the author uses is weird. I just wish for once someone would write in plain English.
The concepts are hidden in the words. The book misses a wider general read in that NO one speaks like the book is written.
ie one sentence speaks of how a concept "employs," some use. Well in 2010 and 2011, the word "employ" is loaded with meaning that interferes with the concept being described.
For $111 I would want someone to speak my language and explain the concepts better.
I love Thermodynamics however books like this give me heart burn. Can't we do better?
