The breaking down of chapters into topics is great, particularly when the book is used for quick reference - Tom Martin, chemistry student at Loughborough University
The style of writing makes the material readily accessible to undergraduates of all levels of chemistry capability. Physical Chemistry is notoriously mathematical in nature and as such any good text on this subject must carry readers of varying ability in mathematics. - Dr Subrayal M Reddy, University of Surrey
There are no other textbooks that serve the purposes of my physical chemistry courses so well. - Dr Peter B Karadakov, University of York
As always the writing style is clear and elegant and the numerical examples are pertinent and helpful. - Dr Mike Lyons, Trinity College Dublin
