Does anyone know of a good undergrad textbook for Thermal Physics. We are using Thermal Physics by Kittel & Kroemer in my class, but for me it doesn't have enough problems to practice. Does anyone know of any other textbook that covers the same material with more practice problems? Any help would be appreciated.
