Review:

"This text presents fundamental concepts of physical chemistry in an engaging and enjoyable style. I will definitely be recommending it to others."
--Matthew Ryder, Chemistry student, Heriot-Watt University

"I think the book is very good for first and second years. It does a good job of explaining some of the traditionally more 'scary' topics without being too heavy on the maths. The exercises and questions are also done well, and the graphs and diagrams are useful and clear."
--Jonathan Booth, Chemistry student, University of York
