Résumé

This is the world's best-selling physical chemistry textbook, and it has been so ever since the first edition in 1978. It is well respected, tried and tested.
Peter Atkins is a figure of massive international reputation.
New co-author Julio de Paula brings a new perspective from applications of physical chemistry to biology and other hot research areas.
Extensive market research is conducted before each new edition is planned so that we are always up to date with trends and changes in users' needs.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES
CLARITY: Peter Atkins' prose style and logical development of the text is, as always, delightfully clear.
PEDAGOGY: the wealth of features from previous editions are retained and enhanced, including, amongst many others, numerous worked examples (over 120), self-tests, 'Illustrations' which show how an equation is used, and the checklists of key ideas at chapter ends - now expanded to include key equations.
FLEXIBILITY: the more complex mathematical derivations are presented in 'Justification' sections, separating them out from the flow of the main text so that they can be used or ignored as the reader wishes.
More than a thousand two-colour line diagrams, all drawn by Peter Atkins, continue to add a unique and vivid visual dimension to the study of physical chemistry, and there are more in this edition than ever before.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
Marginal notes provide extra mathematical help when it is needed and where it is needed.
Boxes illustrate modern applications in biochemistry, materials science, environmental science; more coverage of hot topics in modern chemical research.
New and rewritten chapters on molecular interactions, the solid state, and the dynamics of electron transfer reflect current curriculum content.
Road Maps enhance the modularity, for instance allowing the reader to begin with either bulk or molecular properties, and allowing the book to be used for many different course structures.
A solutions manual, and a dynamic and interactive web site with numerous Living Graphs and web links, support the text and enable hands-on learning.

The world's leading textbook of physical chemistry has been thoroughly revised and modernized. It remains authoritative and accessible, but compared with the previous edition it is more flexible and pedagogically richer. This edition contains even more illustrations, more explanation, more interpretation, and more background information on physics and mathematics. It is more modern too, having increased coverage of biological and materials topics, and it contains more help with the mathematical development of derivations.
