From the reviews:
"In six chapters, the author describes the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, starting from Carnot's works and ending with nonextensive thermodynamics. ... Throughout the whole book, the author shows the power of Carnot works. He always quotes citations and computations from these original works, then considering criticisms and possible extensions. Students and researchers involved in the fundamentals of thermodynamics will surely be interested by this historical presentation of the thermodynamics starting from the pioneering works by Carnot and going to some recent extensions." (Alain Brillard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1186, 2010)
