In this text for undergraduates, Sorrell (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) integrates structural and mechanical perspectives to highlight the similarities of biochemical and synthetic reactio
A text for a freshman or sophomore course in experimental physics for science or engineering students. Taylor (physics, U. of Colorado-Boulder) acknowledges that error analysis would be only a minor p
This vibrant book takes the reader on an exciting journey through much of physical sciences by explaining the wide ranging influence of a single equation, the Boltzmann factor. This simple relation pr
Schrier does not intend to replace any of the many textbooks on applying thermodynamics and quantum mechanics to chemical problems, indeed he expects students already to have read the relevant port
Still a best-selling text after a remarkable twenty-four years in print, Don McQuarrie has now updated his landmark Quantum Chemistry into a keenly anticipated second edition. Perhaps the biggest ch
Physical chemistry, it has been observed, is difficult because of the mathematics, but impossibly difficult without it. For that reason McQuarrie (chemistry, U. of California at Davis) included "MathC
Emphasizes a molecular approach to physical chemistry, discussing principles of quantum mechanics first and then using those ideas in development of thermodynamics and kinetics. Chapters on quantum su
Using an innovative approach that students find both accessible and exciting, A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition lays out the foundations of quantum mechanics through the physics o
Blake (biochemistry, U. of Maine) examines the biophysics and biochemistry of nucleic acids and proteins, including their structures, biological properties, origins and evolution. He introduces the in
This update of the 1989 textbook by Osterbrock (emeritus, astrophysics, Lick Observatory, U. of California, Santa Cruz) adds Ferland (physics and astronomy, U. of Kentucky) as coauthor and new data in
This innovative modern physics textbook is intended as a first introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications. Townsend's new text shuns the historical ordering that characterizes other so-ca
Developed from Nick Turro's best-selling text for three decades, Modern Molecular Photochemistry, this book develops photochemical and photophysical concepts from a small set of familiar principles a
Following in the tradition of Consider a Spherical Cow, the Cylindrical Cow will help students achieve a whole new level of environmental modeling and problem solving. Featuring a new core set of 25 f
One of this century's most eminent scientist offers a revealing and charming account of his life and work. Mathematician, physicist, astronomer, cosmologist and originator of the term the 'Big Bang'-S
