Review title: Kroemer Should Remove His Name From the Book
Product review: I'll start on a good note: The choice and order of topics has potential. The introductory example of cars in a parking lot was interesting, building stat mech from its core in probability into a very physical science.That said, anybody can write a good outline. It's just too bad that Kittel can't write a good book. This book is exactly like Kittel's book on solid-state physics: Drier than lunar soil. Lots of equation manipulation, and very little discussion or insight. I much prefer McQuarrie's book on stat mech.The most confusing thing about the book, however, is not the actual text but the fact that Kroemer's name even appears on it. Look at his quantum mechanics textbook: thorough, clear, and insightful. The complete opposite of this book....
