I find this a really helpful book on the topic. Zuckerman is a great teacher in this format, and the book is well written and interesting. He has a carefully chosen concrete example (butane) that he revisits again and again to illustrate different points. The range of topics considered is good, and this is material that is not necessarily easily found in a single other book. I also like Dill's Molecular Driving Forces, which deals with statistical thermodynamics, but this is a somewhat more advanced and more thorough treatment that deals with a different set of material. Dill's book is great for what it is, but this is too. Honestly, I really need to have both books on my shelf. I'd be more comfortable using this for a graduate level class than Dill's book, which is often more introductory.
Anyway, this isn't a review of the Dill book -- the comparison is just to say that that's the only other book I'm aware of that's really at all comparable, and the two are for different audiences. This is for a more advanced audience (though not to say too advanced -- a talented undergraduate or beginning graduate student can understand it easily) and is perhaps more thorough and traditional (though not in a bad way), while at the same time bringing Zuckerman's unique talents to the table. Definitely a book I'm going to continue using a lot.
