Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics

I have produced a textbook for supporting my teaching activities in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics.

The reason I have made a textbook from scratch is that popular textbooks either only teach classical macroscopic thermodynamics, or statistical physics. The few books that approach both aspects in turn discuss macroscopic thermodynamics, followed by statistical physics.

I teach this course first considering statistial physics and all the microscopic processes that ultimately lead to the definition of macroscopic thermodynamics. Since no other textbook adhered to this approach, I made my own.
