本書是一部講述熱動力學的教程，從連續力學的觀點出發講述了熱動力學基礎。通過流術語描述物理過程和物理量平衡，作者運用獨特的方法講述了水力學電學、力學和熱動力學。這樣很明顯熵成為熱過程的基本性質，溫度成為相應的勢。流、熵平衡的結果理論提供了熱動力理論的基礎。這本擴展修訂了的第二版教材，包括許多新材料，這些材料有關動力化學過程、熱電學、和熱過程與化學過程的顯式動力模型。為了使這本教材對不同水平的熱動力和物理化學的學生能夠適應，包括的內容被分為基礎部分和更高等和規範的部分。讀者可以沒有熱動力學的預備知識，但必須對基本電學、力學和化學知識有所掌握，並且要是能夠有基本微積分的知識將會更有完美。第一版的特點——熱動力學、熱轉換和化學過程的整體性，得到了延續和擴展。
