Three volumes in one chm file.
The Encyclopedia of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics is a major new reference work that any chemist and physicist can turn to for an introduction to an unfamiliar area, an explanation of important experimental and computational techniques, and a description of modern endeavors.
Readership
It is intended for a reader with a solid undergraduate education in physics or chemistry, including mechanics electricity and magnetism, differential equations, simple matrix algebra, chemical nomenclature and the basics of chemical spectroscopy. In addition, the reader has knowledge of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics at the level of an undergraduate physical chemistry text.
Review
... now for the first time we have a comprehensive encyclopedia of this discipline :The editors-in-chief John Moore and Nicholas Spencer not only faced this marathon challenge but solved the problem with style : This balancing act between traditional and ultramodern physical chemistry succeeds : The cross-references excite the reader's interest and stimulates him or her to examine other volumes or topics : University libraries are strongly recommended to buy this encyclopedia, and all research groups working in the field should add this three-volume work to their reference books.

... a long and considerable effort has clearly been spent in compiling it : The encyclopedia is the best single source t Read more...
Understanding Physical Chemistry is a gentle introduction to the principles and applications of physical chemistry. The book aims to introduce the concepts and theories in a structured manner through a wide range of carefully chosen examples and case studies drawn from everyday life. These real-life examples and applications are presented first, with any necessary chemical and mathematical theory discussed afterwards. This makes the book extremely accessible and directly relevant to the reader.
Aimed at undergraduate students taking a first course in physical chemistry, this book offers an accessible applications/examples led approach to enhance understanding and encourage and inspire the reader to learn more about the subject.
- A comprehensive introduction to physical chemistry starting from first principles.
- Carefully structured into short, self-contained chapters.
- Introduces examples and applications first, followed by the necessary chemical theory.
