"McQuarrie’s 2nd edition Quantum Chemistry is outstanding. Students will find that he has integrated the right level of math, physics, chemistry and problems into a single upper undergraduate/graduate level quantum and spectroscopy textbook." --Jeffry D. Madura, Duquesne University "McQuarrie’s Quantum Chemistry 2e offers students a superb introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry. The second edition is loaded with clear and methodical explanations, and a broad array of worthwhile problems. The new material on electronic structure theory and computation is a great addition and really helps students see what going on inside the black box of modern molecular modeling tools." --Alan Shusterman, Reed College "This new edition (2008) expands on the excellent first edition by McQuarrie. This is a very clear and well-organized presentation and development of quantum chemistry of atoms and molecules…Strongly suggested for acquisition. Highly recommended." --Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
