Gibbs: Thermodynamics

Zhigang Suo's picture

I bought this reprint by the Ox Bow Press in 1990s.  The quality of print is excellent. The book collects all papers of Gibbs on thermodynamics. I’ll focus on the three main papers:  Paper I (pp. 1-32), Paper II (pp. 33-54), and Paper III (pp. 55-371).  Papers I and II are short and fundamental.  Paper III is very long; it applied the basic approach developed in the short papers to a large number of important phenomena.  Over the years I have returned to the book many times, and will continue to do so in coming years. I'll keep updating this review.  Gibbs is timely and timeless.  No need to read him in rush. The review continues at Amazon.

You can download a pdf file of the book for free at Google Books.
