Physical Chemistry:Understanding Our Chemical World by Paul M. S. Monk
Understanding Physical Chemistry is a gentle introduction to the principles and applications of physical chemistry. The book aims to introduce the concepts and theories in a structured manner through a wide range of carefully chosen examples and case studies drawn from everyday life. These real-life examples and applications are presented first, with any necessary chemical and mathematical theory discussed afterwards. This makes the book extremely accessible and directly relevant to the reader.
Aimed at undergraduate students taking a first course in physical chemistry, this book offers an accessible applications/examples led approach to enhance understanding and encourage and inspire the reader to learn more about the subject.
* A comprehensive introduction to physical chemistry starting from first principles.
* Carefully structured into short, self-contained chapters.
* Introduces examples and applications first, followed by the necessary chemical theory.

Contents: practical chemistry of the ancients; earliest chemical manuscripts; theories of the ancients of matter and its changes; early alchemists; chemical knowledge of the Middle Ages; chemistry in the 13th century; chemistry of the 14th and 15th centuries; progressive 16th century; chemical currents in the 16th century; chemistry of the 16th century; the 18th century, rise and fall of the Phlogiston theory; development of pneumatic chemistry in the 18th century; early ideas of chemical affinity; Lavoisier and the chemical revolution.
This three-volume encyclopedia is a comprehensive survey of the present state of knowledge and the research frontier in nearly every area of chemical physics and physical chemistry … The goal has been to make each article enjoyable, informative, and concisely relevant to its named topic. These goals are well met … In its discussions, the encyclopedia strikes an excellent balance between theory and applications … [it] is a most remarkable and successful enterprise, and makes very enjoyable reading … It belongs in every university science library.
The Encyclopedia of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics is a major new reference work that any chemist and physicist can turn to for an introduction to an unfamiliar area, an explanation of important experimental and computational techniques, and a description of modern endeavors.
It is intended for a reader with a solid undergraduate education in physics or chemistry, including mechanics electricity and magnetism, differential equations, simple matrix algebra, chemical nomenclature and the basics of chemical spectroscopy. In addition, the reader has knowledge of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics at the level of an undergraduate physical chemistry text.
