"Molecular Theory of Gases and Liquids" by Joseph O. Hirschfelder, Charles F. Curtiss, and R. Byron Bird is the definitive masterpiece of statistical mechanics and transport phenomena. First published in 1954, this monumental work bridges quantum mechanics, intermolecular forces, and macroscopic thermodynamic properties. For chemical engineers, physicists, and materials scientists, it remains an indispensable foundational text. This public link is valid for 7 days
If you have a specific chapter you are struggling to read (e.g., the Lennard-Jones potential tables in Chapter 8 or the transport coefficients in Chapter 9), you may want to look for the specific chapter title in a search engine rather than the whole book, as lecture notes often reproduce these derivations clearly.
