Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences by Peter Atkins

Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences by Peter Atkins

Originally published in 1947, this book was written to provide a student's guide to physical chemistry. It incorporates introductory material on the subject, together with more detailed information appropriate to a degree-level qualification. The basic principles of physical chemistry, as it was understood at the time of publication, are applied to a number of simple problems arranged in a logical order. Appendices are included and textual notes are incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in physical chemistry, education and the history of science.

Review from previous edition An excellent textbook - fun to read and crystal clear* Dr Hans A. Heus, Radboud University Nijmegen *
The toolkits are great, the worked examples will be very useful and the 'in the laboratory' sections are very nice to read, and will provide great teaching material. As [in the first edition] the use of recently developed techniques is superb. * Dr Perdita Barran, University of Edinburgh *
The authors succeed brilliantly in their aim to show that deep insights into the behaviour of biological systems can be gained by applying the principles of physical chemistry. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it without reservation to teachers and students alike. * Chemistry World, January 2006 *
This book provides an excellent insight into the subject of physical chemistry, understandable and suitable for both beginners and experts of chemistry. * Internal Journal of Biological Macromolecules, August 2006 *
