A visual, conceptual and contemporary approach to Physical Chemistry
Engel and Reids Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics provides a contemporary, conceptual, and visual introduction to physical chemistry. The authors emphasise the vibrancy of physical chemistry today and illustrate its relevance to the world around us using modern applications drawn from biology, environmental science, and material science. The 4th Edition provides visual summaries of important concepts and connections in each chapter, offers students just in time math help, and expands content to cover science relevant to physical chemistry.
