Thermodynamics: An Introduction to the Physical Theories of Equilibrium Thermostatics and Irreversible Thermodynamics

The book is in good condition for its age, with a sturdy hardcover binding. There is some wear visible on the spine and corners, typical of a book published in 1965. The pages are clean and free from inscriptions or signatures. The absence of a dust jacket is noted, but the integrity of the book remains intact.

This hardcover edition of "Thermodynamics: An Introduction to the Physical Theories of Equilibrium Thermostatics and Irreversible Thermodynamics" by Herbert B. Callen was published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in 1965. The book is a fifth printing, as indicated on the copyright page. Callen, a Professor of Physics at the University of Pennsylvania, offers an in-depth exploration of thermodynamic principles, focusing on both equilibrium and irreversible processes. This work is significant for its comprehensive approach to thermodynamics, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in physics and engineering. The book's physical condition and lack of a dust jacket are consistent with its age, but it remains a sought-after edition for those interested in the historical and theoretical aspects of thermodynamics.
