    Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and energy transfer. It provides fundamental principles that govern the behavior of physical systems, from microscopic particles to large-scale industrial processes. Understanding thermodynamics is crucial for fields such as engineering, chemistry, and physics, as it helps explain how energy is conserved, transformed, and dissipated. 
    One of the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics is the concept of a thermodynamic system, which refers to a specific region of space or a set of substances that are being studied. Systems can be classified as open, closed, or isolated, depending on their ability to exchange energy and matter with their surroundings. An open system allows both energy and matter to flow in and out, while a closed system permits energy transfer but not matter exchange. An isolated system, in contrast, does not exchange either energy or matter with its surroundings. 
    Thermodynamic properties are categorized as extensive or intensive. Extensive properties, such as mass, volume, and total energy, depend on the amount of substance present. Intensive properties, like temperature, pressure, and density, do not depend on system size and are uniform throughout a system in equilibrium.

    This modern classic is "a tough, tender, bitter novel of a black girl struggling towards womanhood" in 1930s Harlem—with a foreword by James Baldwin (Publishers Weekly). 
     
     
     
    Depression-era Harlem is home for twelve-year-old Francie Coffin and her family, and it's both a place of refuge and the source of untold dangers for her and her poor, working class family. The beloved "daddy" of the title indeed becomes a number runner when he is unable to find legal work, and while one of Francie's brothers dreams of becoming a chemist, the other is already in a gang. Francie is a dreamer, too, but there are risks in everything from going to the movies to walking down the block, and her pragmatism eventually outweighs her hope; "We was all poor and black and apt to stay that way, and that was that." 
     
     
     
    First published in 1970, Daddy Was a Number Runner is one of the seminal novels of the black experience in America. The New York Times Book Review proclaimed it "a most important novel."
