book suggestion: statistical thermodynamics

(1/1)

sgojja:
hello all,
i have started studying statistical mechanics all by myself. i started with B. Widom, i find it useful but i am looking for alternative suggestions. i think the book on statistical mechanics by Horia Metiu can be useful but i can't find the book on the internet, neither i can purchase it till the end of this semester (due to lockdown).
your suggestions will be appreciated.
thank you!

Enthalpy:
Horia Metiu's book is available in English at Amazon.

You mean, microscopic thermodynamics? It's the topic of one volume of Landau & Lifschitz called "statistical physics". Not exactly simple, intuitive nor concrete.

thanks!

Molecular Thermodynamics by McQuarrie is very good.
Much better than Atkins.
