As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry. By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built. The text includes a special set of "MathChapters" to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules. This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples.

After a postdoctoral fellowship with Professor Mostafa El-Sayed at UCLA, John joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at UCSD in 1985.
Pedagogically pleasing, as it builds up physical chemistry from considerations of atoms to systems containing numerous molecules. --Choice
It is a superb book, to be greatly appreciated and treasured by generations of students to come. --Richard Zare, Stanford University
An excellent modern physical chemistry course that should inspire us to rethink our curriculum. --Journal of Chemical Education
