Elementary Principles of Statistical Mechanics
by Josiah Willard Gibbs - Charles Scribner's Sons
Written by J. Willard Gibbs, this book was the first to bring together and arrange in logical order the works of Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs himself. The text remains a valuable collection of fundamental equations and principles.
