Information About

The book starts with thermodynamics to show clearly the power and limits of this treatment of equilibrium. Part two on quantum mechanics and spectroscopy, describes the behavior of atoms and molecules. Theoretical gas kinetics has been combined with photochemistry to form a new chapter on chemical dynamics and photochemistry. Part four, Macroscopic and Microscopic Structures, contains two new chapters on macromolecules and surface dynamics.
