  An accessible exploration of a notoriously difficult subject, this “gem of physics pedagogy . . . should be required reading for all courses on thermodynamics” (Robert C. Hilborn, University of Texas at Dallas). Presenting classical thermodynamics as a concise and discrete whole, Mere Thermodynamics is a perfect tool for teaching the theory’s central concepts and methods. The book features end-of-chapter practice problems, an appendix of worked problems, a glossary of terms, and an annotated bibliography. Accomplished teacher Don S. Lemons uses thermodynamics to solve problems from a broad range of physics. He illustrates not only the fundamentals of the subject but also advanced topics such as the relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. He highlights the intellectual structure and history of the discipline and explores the logical consequences of each of the famous three laws. Lemons explains and develops the first two laws and their corollaries, the methods and applications of thermodynamics, and the third law, as well as non-fluid variables, equilibrium and stability, and two-phase systems.

  A New Excalibur - The...

  The story of the inventors, engineers, soldiers, and politicians behind the emergence of the armored fighting vehicle.   The birth and infancy of the tank had an enormous number of technical problems to be solved—but the issues with its construction paled in comparison to the endless squabbles among the people involved. This fascinating study of the vehicle which was born out of the stalemate of the Western Front in the First World War looks at all the obstacles that had to be overcome.   As is inevitable in almost any work of history set in the first half of the century, the figure of Winston Churchill looms large—but the role that he played in this instance is remarkable even by his standard, when it is remembered that at the crucial time he was First Lord of the Admiralty and theoretically had nothing to do with warfare on land. Foremost among the leading actors in the drama are Sir Eustace Tennyson-d’Eyncourt, Sir Ernest Swinton, Bertie Stern, Sir William Tritton, and Walter Gordon Wilson.   This is the first exhaustive study of the men behind the earliest tanks. The story of their furious quarrels and the machines they produced combine to make a remarkable and compelling study.
