Creation Revisited

Explains how scientists first observed the second law of thermodynamics, discusses its connection with living things, and looks at the nature of structure and chaos

The Second Law

Julio De Paula

Elements of Physical Chemistry

The author of The Creation returns to take a fresh look at the great questions of our existence and to tackle the unapproachable with a firm belief that an essential simplicity underlies the apparent complexity of all existence. "Essential reading for non-scientists who yearn to go where physics borders the ultimate".--Washington Post Book World.

This textbook aims to convey the important principles and facts of inorganic chemistry in a way that is both understandable and enjoyable to undergraduates. Examples help to illustrate the material, and key points are summarized at the conclusion of each chapter.

Inorganic Chemistry

In this essential guide for students of chemistry, Peter Atkins explains the principles and phenomena of physical chemistry. Using few formulas, he shows how physical chemistry draws its ideas from physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematics, and how it has contributed to our understanding of the natural world.

A Very Short Introduction

Physical Chemistry

As a food, milk has been revered and ignored, respected and feared. This is a history of two centuries of struggle to bring it under control, to manipulate its naturally variable composition and, as a result, to redraw the boundaries between nature and society.

Combining broad coverage with an innovative use of pedagogy, Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. Significant re-working of the text design makes this edition more accessible for students, while also creating a clean and effective textthat is more flexible for instructors to teach from.

Principios de química : los caminos del descubrimiento

Reveals the links between an atom's structure and its chemical destiny showing how an atom makes its passage through nature.

Atoms, Electrons, and Change

Leroy Laverman

Ce manuel de référence pour l'enseignement de la chimie générale aux étudiants de licence est destiné à leur apporter une vision construite et raisonnée de la chimie et de ses applications. A partir de la structure de l'atome, les auteurs développent un cheminement logique vers les propriétés des molécules les plus complexes et leurs propriétés. La nouvelle organisation de l'ouvrage en petits sujets répartis en 11 thèmes principaux permet une grande souplesse dans la lecture et dans l'assimilation des connaissances. De nombreuses aides pédagogiques, sous la forme de problèmes résolus, d'auto-tests, de boîtes à outils, et d'exercices nombreux guident l'étudiant dans son cheminement vers la connaissance.
