Chemical Thermodynamics Basic Concepts and Methods [Hardcover]

• A completely updated, expanded edition of a longstanding and influential text on chemical thermodynamics
  
• Covers the logical foundations and interrelationships of thermodynamics and their application to problems that are commonly encountered by the chemist.
  
• Explanations of abstract concepts in a clear and simple, yet still rigorous fashion
  
• Logical arrangement of the material to facilitate learning, including worked out examples.
  
• Computational techniques, graphical, numerical, and analytical, are described fully and are used frequently, both in illustrative and in assigned problems.
