Ralph Baierlein, Thermal Physics, Cambridge University Press, The American Journal of Physics has said that it is a "marvelous resource for any teacher of thermal physics." The book is particularly notable for its thoroughness it includes, for example, a chapter discussing thermodynamics within the context of special relativity.
