AI Thread Summary
For those seeking undergraduate-level resources on thermal and statistical physics, "Heat and Thermodynamics: an Intermediate Textbook" by Zemansky and Dittman is recommended for its comprehensive coverage of both subjects. Additionally, "Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics" by Reif is mentioned as a solid option, although the user has not personally reviewed it. It is noted that the original post was made in an incorrect forum, as there is a dedicated section for textbook discussions. Overall, the conversation highlights the limited availability of quality textbooks in this field at the undergraduate level.

Hi, I'm going to study this myself. I wonder if anyone can suggest me a book covering both thermal and statistical physics book, undergrad level. Thanks.

I think Heat and Thermodynamics: an Intermediate Textbook by Zemansky and Dittman is a good book. It covers both thermodynamics and statistical mechanics at an introductory level.
 
You posted this in the wrong forum. There is a forum for textbook discussion at the top of the forum list.

From my experience, there aren't very many great thermo/stat mech books at the undergrad level. But I've heard
Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics by Reif is a good text. I haven't worked through it myself, however.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
