This is a classic, I mean that, despite its age, this book is still extremely important. We all know that another book by Bridgman, The Logic of Modern Physics, dated 1927, is still the logical basis of current physics. The Nature of Thermodynamics is the application of the logical foundations, outlined in the mentioned book, to this specific subject. This should be enough. There are a few ideas that appear outdated, for instance when Bridgman states the intrinsic irreversibility of the diamond-graphite transformation. But right now the same idea applies to a spin-up - spin-down process, extremely important in quantum computing: you can not perform such a transformation without spending an unrecoverable amount of energy. This means that although the example is now incorrect, the underlying idea is always valid. For anybody interested in the foundations of thermodynamics, reading this book is a must.
