书籍介绍
翻开这本书，你会先被它"接地气"的写法打动：从冰箱、发动机到宇宙学、生物细胞，热力学定律仿佛就藏在生活各处。但真正让读者记住它的，是作者对热学概念的重新排序——在施罗德笔下，熵才是核心，温度退居其次，它只是系统"愿意放出多少能量"的一种表征；第二定律也不是自然界的铁律，而是大量概率与巨大数字运算的必然结果。这种"把熟悉的东西讲陌生、把陌生的讲自然"的处理，让概念的引入毫无突兀感。它适合那些不满足于背公式、想真正理解热统"为什么是这样"的读者；也提醒我们：一本好的物理教材，未必从最抽象处起步，却可能带你走得更远。

精彩摘录
- "The second law is not built into the fundamental laws of nature, though; it arises purely through the laws of probability and the mathematics of very large numbers. But since the probabilities are so overwhelming for any system large enough to see with our eyes, we might as well forget about probabi"
- "Entropy is the more fundamental quantity, governed by the second law of thermodynamics. Temperature is less fundamental; it is merely a characterization of a system's "willingness" to give up energy, that is, of the relationship between its energy and entropy."
- "thermodynamic identity: dU = T*dS - P*dV + ∑ μ*dN."
- "Extensive and Intensive Quantities The number of potentially interesting thermodynamic variables has been growing lately. We now have U, V, iV, S, T, P, /i, H, P, and G, among others. One way to organize all these quantities is to pick out the ones that double if you simply double the amount of stuf"
- "Because a system will spontaneously seek out the state of lowest free energy, this property tells us that equilibrium phases almost always contain impurities."
- "The usefulness of the formula F = -k*T* In Z is that from F we can compute the entropy, pressure, and chemical potential, using the partial-derivative formulas"
- "Degeneracy pressure is what keeps matter from collapsing under the huge electrostatic forces that try to pull electrons and protons together. Please note that degeneracy pressure has absolutely nothing to do with electrostatic repulsion between the electrons (which we've completely ignored); it aris"
- "Heat is defined as any spontaneous flow of energy from one object to another, cause by a difference in temperature between the objects."
