A revised edition of “Elementary Thermodynamics,” by Virgil M.t' Faires, head of the management engineering department, has just, been published.
The revised edition presents a brief yet comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics. It includes a brief discussion of the theory of the gas tjuroine.
Although 200 pages shorter than “Applied Thermodynamics,” the new book has omitted less important topics rather than by shorten* ing the explanations. Nearly all of the problems have been revised or replaced and answers are supplied for most qf them.
