“I was very pleased to learn that Chang and Thoman have produced a new text for the traditional two-semester Physical Chemistry for Chemistry majors course. I found the same engaging and accessible writing style I have come to expect and appreciate from Chang’s textbooks. The new book’s coverage of atomic and molecular quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and statistical thermodynamics brings it into line with all the essential topics of a rigorous P Chem class. I expect this textbook will be high on the list for instructors seeking a thorough, integrated approach to the subject of Physical Chemistry, combined with a clear and conversational writing style.” –Alan Van Orden, Colorado State University
“In selecting a physical chemistry textbook from the several that are available, there is much to like about this book. If you are considering physical chemistry textbooks for a course, then this book should be on your list…” –Journal of Chemical Education
“The most student-friendly P Chem text available.” –Howard Mayne, University of New Hampshire
“The new Chang/Thoman text is very good. I like its approach and it is very easy to read and well organized. I especially like that the kinetic theory of gases is introduced at the beginning of the text. This makes the later derivation of heat capacities easy to explain and understand. In my opinion, this text makes a much better approach to Physical Chemistry than the other texts currently sold.” –Mark Obrovac, Dalhousie University
“With expanded coverage and more depth, Chang’s newest book is now an excellent fit for students on the BS Chemistry track. It will provide them with the rigorous foundations knowledge they need for advanced studies in any sub-disciplines of chemistry, including biochemistry/biophysical chemistry.” –Taina Chao, State University of New York, Purchase
