“Black hole thermodynamics” collects books that study black holes as thermodynamic systems, uniting general relativity, quantum field theory, and statistical mechanics. Core themes include the four laws of black hole mechanics, Hawking radiation and black hole temperature, and the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy proportional to horizon area, along with the generalized second law. Titles range from pedagogical introductions to research monographs, covering tools such as quantum field theory in curved spacetime, Euclidean path integrals, semiclassical backreaction, and entropy bounds. Many works focus on the black hole information problem and proposed resolutions via holography (AdS/CFT), string theory microstate counting, loop quantum gravity, and quantum information approaches based on entanglement entropy and quantum extremal surfaces. The category ties these ideas to broader questions about the nature of spacetime, quantum gravity, and the thermodynamic or emergent character of gravitational dynamics.
