I am in highschool and I would like to read up on Thermodynamics. What should I study beforehand so that at least the basics make sense?

My grandfather recently game be the second edition of Thermodynamics by George. A. Hawkins and I'd very much like to read it. My dilemma lies with the fact that I haven't taken Physics or Calculus. I was wondering what exactly I should study so that I can make sense of this book? I know this will not be an easy task but I am an AB student and I feel that I'm pretty intelligent for my age.
