Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This textbook of physical chemistry provides a thorough explanation of the subject and has many instructional features to help the student, and an assortment of learning tools which are new to this edition. Popular features include the introduction, which offers an early discussion of some key ideas that occur throughout the subject. The text's almost 1000 two-colour illustrations, all redrawn by the author, continue to add a visual dimension to the study of physical chemistry.

Previous ed.: 1990.
