Summary: A great text for the motivated student
Comment: I am a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell and used this textbook for a Thermodynamics course last semester. I thought it was very well organized, written very well and at an appropriate level, and enjoyable overall (though demanding at times). I think the reason some people have given this book such poor reviews is that it makes you think and really requires you to put time into solving problems. I think the nature of thermo makes it difficult the first time around for some (including myself), but if you know calculus, basic physics, and are willing to actually try to understand the text/reasoning/formulas/examples and do the problems you will probably agree that this book is incredible.

Summary: A College level book
Comment: Warning, this book is a college level Thermodynamics book written for students who are pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. As one reviewer pointed out, this book, unfortunately, will force you to think and will not simply provide you with the formulas necessary to solve all the problems in the back. I purchased this book as a supplement to the required text for the thermo course I was taking. I found it extremely helpful in filling in the gaps left by my text with many thorough example problems. I have recommended this book to our faculty as a replacement to our current text.

Summary: An Excellent Thermodynamics book
Comment: I highly recommend this text. I have used it for many years now and it is as complete and concise as can be. Moran and Shapiro have done an excellent job in developing this text. The concept explanations are concise and technical. The theory is extremely well developed and clearly presented. This book is similar to Incropera's Heat Transfer texts with respect with the theory development and explanations. If you want a book that does more than show you how to do a problem this book is for you. Not only does it show you how, but it tells you WHY. An excellent book!
