MODERN THERMODYNAMICS（簡體書）

This book can be used as a textbook in universities and colleges for the modernization of the thermodynamics discipline. There are not too much mathematical deductions in this book, so it is also suitable for readers to read and learn by themselves.
Based on the authors experiences, the modernization of the thermodynamics discipline is not easy, so the book is written in three levels. The first level is about 800 words in Preface; the second level is an outline of about 8 000 words in Chapter 1, which was originally a reply in 2006 to a reviewer, a person described in his own words as being through my personal journey through the realm of equilibrium thermodynamics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics and through my own work therein over decades; and the third level is the detailed discussions in other parts of the whole book.
