Synopsis

The fourth edition has been comprehensively revised to produce a thoroughly up-to-date account of physical chemistry. All aspects of the text and its presentation have been carefully reconsidered, much of the material has been reorganized, and many sections have been completely rewritten. Important features of this new edition include a more accessible text, with simplified language and improved presentation; revised organization of material allowing a more logical development of ideas; new and improved sections on nuclear magnetic resonance, lasers, spectroscopy, reaction kinetics, and electrochemistry; a simplified notation to clarify equations without losing mathematical rigour; a modern approach reflecting current attitudes to the subject; many new problems, exercises, and examples, emphasizing problem-solving strategies rather than numerical work; clear and informative diagrams; extended and updated data tables; and new sections giving further information on selected topics. Undergraduate students should continue to find it useful throughout their course.
