From the Back Cover:

The best selling book in the Physical Chemistry for the Life Science market presents the principles and applications of physical chemistry as they are used to solve problems in biology and medicine. Molecular interpretation and thermodynamics is covered early and integrated throughout. Readers are encouraged to study molecular structure and properties in order to understand the complex components of Thermodynamics —energy and entropy. Includes expanded coverage of intra- and inter- molecular forces including classical energies; Coulomb's Law, Hook's Law and van der Waals interactions. NMR—Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Fourier transform spectroscopy is defined and two-dimensional methods in NMR are discussed. Boltzmann Distribution of energies and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities are discussed in detail.
