About this title

From the Back Cover:

This is the textbook that I would like to have if I were now an undergraduate student of physical chemistry. It tries to satisfy the need of a careful student who wants to ask "where does that equation of that concept come from?" The book emphasizes the development of the applications of physical chemistry from fundamental principles and postulates. This is a textbook for a standard two-semester physical chemistry course for chemists and chemical engineers in the junior or senior year. It offers an approach that is slightly different from other textbooks for this course in that it begins with carefully stated fundamental principles and carefully presents the applications of these principles.

About the Author:
