Synopsis

The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the tenth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. Material within chapters has been radically reorganised into discrete topics, to give the text an inviting modular feel. This restructuring increases the digestibility of the text for students, while making it more flexible for lecturers to teach from. The extensive learning support provided throughout the book now includes new checklists of key concepts at the end of each topic, to reinforce the main take-home messages in each section. The mathematics support for students has also been significantly expanded, with the addition of new Chemist's toolkit boxes, which provide useful reminders of essential mathematical concepts and techniques. The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Atkins' Physical Chemistry features: For registered adopters of the book: * Figures and tables from the book, in ready to download format * Tables of editable key equations * Instructor's Solutions Manual For students: * Web links to a range of additional physical chemistry resources on the internet * Group theory tables, available for downloading * Living graphs * Molecular modelling problems * Impact sections linked to via QR codes in the text

Media Reviews
I like the division of the material into shorter chapters . This helps to navigate through the material and break it up into lecture-size bites. * Professor Eleanor Campbell, Edinburgh University *
Once again the authors have succeeded in improving on the already very high standard of the previous edition. * Matthew Ryder, student, Heriot-Watt University *
I really like the new approach. I like the checklist of concepts and the overarching why you need to know this material pointers at the start of each chapter. * Dr Darren Walsh, University of Nottingham *
