Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Translates the basic concepts and applications of physical chemistry into a language that biology, premed, and other nonchemistry majors can understand. Mathematical coverage is simplified, using algebra for examples, and explaining calculus-based derivations in justifications boxes. Rotational and Raman spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging are incorporated throughout, to illustrate how techniques are applied. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Includes bibliographical references (pages 477-481) and index.
