Every chemist should own a copy of this uniquely thorough yet incisive treatment of the basic principles of physical chemistry. Written by three eminent physical chemists, the second edition of this exceptional work is the most lucid and comprehensive physical chemistry reference available.
The authors present the fundamentals of the three major areas of physical chemistry--the microscopic structure of matter, the equilibrium properties of systems, and the physical and chemical kinetics of transformations of systems--in a logical sequence, from the simple to the complex. Beginning with
atomic and molecular structure, they progress to properties of condensed matter, to statistical and thermodynamic properties of systems in equilibrium, and then to transport phenomena and chemical reaction processes. The book's mathematical level begins with elementary calculus and rises to the use
of simple properties of partial differential equations and the special functions that enter into their solutions. The conceptual structure of physical chemistry is emphasized throughout and appendices develop the details of the mathematical tools as they are needed.

This new edition features:
DT In-depth and illuminating presentation of conceptual arguments
DT No shortcuts--derives whole formulas
DT 100 new problems
DT New material on nuclear magnetic resonance
DT Expanded treatment of linear and nonlinear irreversible processes and thermodynamics
DT A completely revised treatment of electrode kinetics
DT Many updates throughout
DT Several vignettes--written by leaders in the field--that cover topics at the cutting edge of physical chemistry research

Summary: Clear, and comprehensive, and well organized
Rating: 5

This textbook is one of the best text in Physical Chemistry in the modern time. Although not a classic, it is well organized and pulls all the important information and problems from a variety of sources. The writing is clear and logical for both undergraduate and graduate students alike.

Summary: Awesome
Rating: 5

This book puts a high value on clarity and logic. Time invested with this book is repaid with UNDERSTANDING.
