Physical chemistry can be a very mathematical and complex area, but this textbook makes it easy to understand and is something I see myself using to help me carry out both lab work and physical chemistry questions. The book is also complemented by a new edition of the 'Explorations in Physical Chemistry' CD, which contains interactive Excel worksheets and exercises related to the Living Graphs, allowing students to visualise, actively explore and test their understanding of the subject.Sophie Shearlaw, student, University of Strathclyde An excellent textbook: very easy to read and fosters great understanding. An Instructor's Solutions Manual (free to adopters) and a Student's Solutions Manual are also available. Online Resource Centre: The companion web site contains Living Graphs, illustrations from the book, and web links. All these exciting new features and innovations are presented within a new full colour text design, to stimulate and engage students still further. The eighth edition introduces new 'Impact on' sections which integrate the impact of physical chemistry on modern applications such as biology, biochemistry, medicine, nanoscience and astrophysics. The pedagogical framework, which is a hallmark of Atkins' writing, has been strengthened further: new 'Notes on good practice' provide guidance on the use of terminology and help students to avoid common pitfalls short 'Commentaries' remind students of the applications of mathematical and physical concepts, and provide useful cross-references to related resources in the book and on the accompanying companion web site. Mathematics remains an intrinsic yet challenging part of physical chemistry the new edition offers greater explanation and support, to ensure that students can master the important mathematical principles, without sacrificing the rigour and depth of its mathematical content. The coverage of introductory topics has been streamlined, and later topics rationalized, bringing into sharper focus the scope of the text to mirror the needs of today's students and lecturers. In the eighth edition the authors provide a more compact presentation through the careful restructuring and redistribution of material. The judicious choice of topics, the clear writing style of both authors, and the careful exposition of maths, reaffirm the book's position as market leader.

Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the benchmark of achievement for a chemistry degree throughout the world.
