Query: This book is fine, but ...

This book is the worst book that I have read in stat thermo. The logic is not so good for a new comer to this field, for instance, the first chapter put the quantum mechanics in a several pages, which will discourage from enjoying the full flavor the later chapters. It looks like the autor is in great favor of tons and tons of equations and formulas, and talked little about the physics underlying the phenomena, which I personally think is very crucial. But it is definitely a good reference book for those who enjoy the exercise of deriving equations.
