Product Review
`The best general textbook on physical chemistry for our purposes, providing material at an appropriate level and coverage. ' Mike Hey, Nottingham.
`This is still a Rolls-Royce textbook, which covers the traditional core material well. ' Stephen Fletcher, Loughborough.
`"Atkins" is the gold standard of technical education in Physical Chemistry. ' Stephen Fletcher, Loughborough.
`It is important to remember that this is without doubt the principal text book for Physical Chemistry, few students will obtain a degree in the UK without having used or at least been referred to it.' Richard Wells, Aberdeen.
`The book will undoubtedly be adopted for physical chemistry teaching and deserves to be so. ' Richard Wells, Aberdeen.
`I am certain that the 8th edition will be a worthy successor to the 7th edition and remain one of the best Physical Chemistry Texts available. ' Christopher Whitehead, Manchester.
`One the most influential books on physical chemistry published in the last 30 years. ' Tom Halstead, York.
`This is a mature textbook, which I have been using since the appearance of the first edition, initially as a student, and continue to find very useful. Its scope and level of coverage are both entirely appropriate, and the author/authors have always been quick to respond to important new scientific developments.' Peter Karadaokov, University of York.
`The choice of Atkins is dictated by its universal content that covers most aspects of physical chemistry ' Mikhalovsky Sergey University of Brighton.
`Striving for completeness in presenting a subject to the student, the authors have produced an outstanding introduction to quantum theory for the serious student. This alone makes 'Physical Chemistry' a worthy acquisition. ' Tony Morton Blake, Trinity College Dublin.
Product Description
Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the benchmark of achievement for a chemistry degree throughout the world. The judicious choice of topics, the clear writing style of both authors, and the careful exposition of maths, reaffirm the book's position as market leader. In the eighth edition the authors provide a more compact presentation through the careful restructuring and redistribution of material. The coverage of introductory topics has been streamlined, and later topics rationalized, bringing into sharper focus the scope of the text to mirror the needs of today's students and lecturers. Mathematics remains an intrinsic yet challenging part of physical chemistry; the new edition offers greater explanation and support, to ensure that students can master the important mathematical principles, without sacrificing the rigour and depth of its mathematical content. The pedagogical framework, which is a hallmark of Atkins' writing, has been strengthened further: new 'Notes on good practice' provide guidance on the use of terminology and help students to avoid common pitfalls; short 'Commentaries' remind students of the applications of mathematical and physical concepts, and provide useful cross-references to related resources in the book and on the accompanying companion web site. The eighth edition introduces new 'Impact on' sections which integrate the impact of physical chemistry on modern applications such as biology, biochemistry, medicine, nanoscience and astrophysics. All these exciting new features and innovations are presented within a new full colour text design, to stimulate and engage students still further. Online Resource Centre: The companion web site contains Living Graphs, illustrations from the book, and web links. An Instructor's Solutions Manual (free to adopters) and a Student's Solutions Manual are also available. The book is also complemented by a new edition of the 'Explorations in Physical Chemistry' CD, which contains interactive Excel worksheets and exercises related to the Living Graphs, allowing students to visualise, actively explore and test their understanding of the subject.
