There's a dover book called "Statistical Thermodynamics" by Erwin Schrödinger, I have worked through "Concepts in Thermal Physics" by Schroeder and I think Erwin's book blends some of thermodynamics with quantum mechanics so I don't think I'll be able to comprehend it, anyways I just wanted to know if it's a good book in terms of exposition and clarity of the subject matter.
Also, there's another book by Van Ness called "Understanding thermodynamics", is that a good book, again, in terms of exposition and clarity of the subject matter. Are any of the books chemistry-centric?
P.S.- Even though I have not gone through quantum mechanics in a rigorous matter, I have still worked through Halliday and Resnick's "Physics"(both volumes)
