《宇宙膨胀和大尺度结构》主要内容：The 1990s have seen substantial consolidation of theoretical cosmology, coupled with dramatic observational advances, including the emergence of an entirely new field of observational astronomy - the study of irregularities in the cosmic microwave background radiation. A key idea of modern cosmology is cosmological inflation, which is a possible theory for the origin of all structures in the Universe, including ourselves! The time is ripe for a new book describing this field of research.

《热力学》是王竹溪的精心之作。《热力学》的取材和写法与其他热力学书很不同，有四个突出的特点：第一，具有高度的科学性、系统性和完整性，对热力学的主要内容进行系统的、科学的、严谨的、完整的阐述第二，深入讲解物理，并使理论的数学表述紧密联系物理内容。对重要的物理概念和规律，往往介绍几种不同的讲述方法，这一点在热力学第二定律的表述中特别突出。第三，介绍了些作者本人的研究成果，如多地系的热力学平衡与稳定性等。第四，书中精选了相当数量的有助于理解热力学的精髓的习题，适合深入教学的需要。
