covers the derivation of the Gibb’s phase rule and its application for non-reacting and reacting systems, the coexistence of two phases in one-component systems, and a brief description of the two-component system. The chapter on mixtures and solutions provides an unusual approach to the thermodynamics of solutions using the pair correlation function (i.e., radial distribution function) and the Kirkwood–Buff theory to explain some properties and the interaction between different solute molecules with their environment. The chapter on chemical equilibrium derives the general equilibrium condition for a reaction and its dependence on pressure and temperature. The final chapter is devoted to water and aqueous solutions. It presents the different water phases and water properties as an equilibrium mixture of two species with low and high local density.

anostructured materials include zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional (2D), and threedimensional (3D) nanoscale materials. They have attracted considerable attention for a few decades due to the very different physical and chemical properties from the bulk properties. There are many methods for synthesis of nanostructured materials. Among them, electrochemical deposition (i.e., electrodeposition), which has been widely used in the plating industry for anticorrosion and decorative applications in metals and alloys, has been successfully used in the growth of a wide range of nanoscale materials in recent years. Electrodeposition is an effective and low-cost method for mass production of nanomaterials. This book gives an excellent introduction to electrodeposition of nanostructured
materials, from basic concepts to practical applications. The author has more than 15 years of research experience on the electrodeposition of coatings and nanostructures. This book combines the information and knowledge in the literature as well as the research experience and results of the author. The book comprises eight chapters. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to nanostructured materials with their concepts and classifications. Chapter 2 provides an overview of electrochemistry with a focus on basic knowledge. Chapter 3 introduces the fundamentals and principles of electrodeposition and details the process. By using the electrodeposition method, many kinds of nanostructured materials can be deposited. Chapters 4–8 discuss the growth of various nanomaterials by electrodeposition, including
Edwin T. Jaynes provided the first connection of SMI to statistical thermodynamics in 1957 (Phys. Rev. 106 (4), 630). It was a mathematical approach without simple examples. Ben-Naim and Casadei have provided a more didactic approach. This book may not be considered a textbook for a normal graduate course on thermodynamics, though there are exercises throughout the book with solutions in the appendix. The figures are simple, but they provide important
