I'm basically in the Jim and Leigh camp on this issue (with some 
differences, e.g. I'm perfectly happy to talk about an energy flow with Q 
being a particular way or process by which energy transport (flow) can occur 
between two systems.)

I think precision and language matters! and helps to prevent sloppy 
thinking, in which thermodynamics is particularly prone .

Having said this, let me recommend one book that I think does a fairly good 
job with this (and many other topics, this book has one of the best 
explanations of why the B field outside of solenoid is zero (or near zero) 
that I have ever seen in a book; the optics diagrams are very clear and 
correct and make important points).

The book is "University Physics" by Crummett and Western published by WC 
Brown.
