Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

With its modern emphasis on the molecular view of physical chemistry, its wealth of contemporary applications (in the new " Impact on" features), vivid full-color presentation, and dynamic new media tools, the thoroughly revised new edition is again the most modern, most effective full-length textbook available for the physical chemistry classroom. NOW AVAILABLE IN SPLIT VOLUMESFor maximum flexibility in your physical chemistry course, this text isnow offered as a traditional or in two volumes. Volume 1: Thermodynamics and Kinetics (ISBN 0-7167-8567-6) Volume 2: Quantum Chemistry, Spectroscopy, and StatisticalThermodynamics (ISBN 0-7167-8569-2)See Table of Contents for the contents of each volume.

With answers to problems. - Text on lining papers.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
