Chemical Thermodynamics at a Glance

Professor H.D.B. Jenkins is based in the Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK

"Presenting thermodynamics in an appealing and instructive way is an ongoing problem and this text addresses this issue in its clarity and useful organisation". (The Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences Centre, June 2008) "This is a well-organised presentation of the standard material in a thermodynamics undergraduate course for chemists or chemical engineers."
