Anybody knows this book : The refrigerator and the Universe ? Is it any good ? And what is the level required to read it?
Thanks

If you are comfortable with logarithms and pre-university algebra, you'll be fine. Some level of familiarity with basic physics would help, but I wouldn't say it has any formal requirement there.

Also, it's a good book to revisit after learning upper division thermodynamics, since it covers some common questions students ask at that level which have subtle answers.
