Thermochemistry Books: Comprehensive & Fundamental Coverage

[Big-Daddy]

Which books can anyone recommend with the most comprehensive or fundamental coverage of chemical thermodynamics and thermochemistry, linking up to equilibrium (including electrochemical equilibrium and potentials preferably), starting from the basics?

I find the explanations of the topics of reversibility, work done, and the link of the state variables (U, H, S, G and A) to equilibrium all to be poorly done by the textbooks I've already read (including Atkins etc.) - or rather just not thorough enough.

Have a look at Berry, Rice, Ross, Physical Chemistry (OUP, 2000).
