This is a valuable resource that covers a wide range of topics in physical chemistry. The book is divided into three major sections that cover statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and kinetics. The text is easy to follow and provides a firm foundation on which to build understanding of this discipline.
Really very heavy going. Physical Chemistry is never going to be an easy read, but this book doesn't help make sense of much. Confusing, tables and examples. You can Never find the information you are looking for.
Decent book that has very broad coverage of topics. Gets a little bogged in notation, but otherwise good.
It was like stepping into another world.
This was my chemistry text book for two years and I would sometimes spend a morning on one single page.
Great book, great book.
