Reviews

`From the first paragraph of the first chapter, this text informs the reader that he/she was lucky enough to find an excellent book to finally understand chemical thermodynamics. The level of writing is suitable for any audience whether undergraduate, graduate, or industry professional. The reader is not bombarded with overly mathematical and boring theoretical diatribe. Rather, it is as if five scientific copyeditors collaborated and approved each word as `the right way to explain things.' And, that is how the text comes across to the reader.'
