Publisher Synopsis
I like the division of the material into shorter "chapters". This helps to navigate through the material and break it up into "lecture-size" bites. This is a comprehensive and well-organised textbook that covers all the core physical chemistry. It is attractively presented with excellent online resources and makes a major effort to guide the student carefully through the more demanding mathematics and derivations. * Professor Eleanor Campbell, Edinburgh University * Once again the authors have succeeded in improving on the already very high standard of the previous edition. * Matthew Ryder, student, Heriot-Watt University * I really like the new approach. I like the checklist of concepts and the overarching "why you need to know this material" pointers at the start of each chapter. * Dr Darren Walsh, University of Nottingham * I have used this book for more than 30 years. It is the best textbook of physical chemistry for year 2 and year 3 students in physical science departments, and for their teachers. I also use this textbook as reference book for teaching other courses and even for my research. * Wuzong Zhou, St Andrews University * Read more...
