Physikalische Chemie

The essential, comprehensive textbook of Physical Chemistry!

The "big Atkins" is and remains a must-have for all students who are seriously engaged with Physical Chemistry. In his distinctive style, Peter Atkins, along with co-authors Julio de Paula and James Keeler, covers the entire spectrum of this fascinating and challenging subject.

In the new sixth edition, the content is modularly structured to make learning more organized and targeted. As always with "Atkins," clarity and mathematical depth go hand in hand. And of course, the connection to the applications of Physical Chemistry and its significance for other fields is never overlooked.
