"An excellent text, highly recommended." — ChoiceWhen it was first published, this first-year chemistry text revolutionized the teaching of chemistry by presenting it in terms of unifying principles instead of as a body of unrelated facts. Those principles included modern theories of atomic and molecular structure, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics. In addition, Dr. Pauling attempted to correlate the theories with descriptive chemistry, the observed properties of substances, to introduce the student to the multitude of chemical substances and their properties.In this extensively revised and updated third edition, the Nobel Prize–winning author maintains an excellent balance between theoretical and descriptive material, although the amount of descriptive chemistry has been decreased somewhat, and the presentation of the subject, especially in relation to the nonmetals, has been revised in such a way as to permit greater correlation with the electronic structure of atoms, especially electronegativity.The principles of quantum mechanics are discussed on the basis of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. The quantized energy levels of a particle in a box are derived by means of a simple assumption about the relation of the de Broglie waves to the walls of the box. No attempt is made to solve the Schrödinger wave equation for other systems, but the wave functions of hydrogen-like electrons are presented  and discussed in some detail, and the quantum states for other systems are also covered. Statistical mechanics is introduced before thermodynamics, and the discussion of thermodynamics is based on it. This arrangement reflects the author's belief that beginning students can understand statistical mechanics better than chemical thermodynamics.Aimed at first-year college students who plan to major in chemistry or closely related fields, the book is written in a logical, clear, and understandable style. In addition, many excellent figures are included, along with numerous problems and 75 pages of appendices covering such topics as symmetry of molecules and crystals, hybrid bond orbitals, and magnetic properties of substances.

The third edition of this classic introduction to the fundamentals of biochemistry remains faithful to the vision of its predecessors, while embracing the tremendous advances made in biochemical research since the previous edition. As always, the book presents the fundamentals of biochemistry through selected topics, emphasizing the most recent developments and applications without abandoning the classical core of the subject.

<p>Mankiw's Macroeconomics is popular, widely adopted and well-known for clearly communicating the principles of Macroeconomics in a concise and accessible way. Every chapter of this textbook includes fully integrated real-world examples, stories and applications. These help to make economics accessible and entertaining while teaching intuitively and reinforcing critical concepts. The European Edition keeps the formula that has made it a best-selling text, but introduces European cases and examples as well as relevant new theory content, for example there is a new chapter on European Monetary Union. The changes help to make an already successful book even more engaging and relevant for European students. NEW TO THIS EDITION * New chapter on European Monetary Union. * Over 20 completely new case studies, with heavy adaptation of a further 25. * 3 brand new 'For Your Information' boxes.</p>

This text synthesizes theoretical models, research, clinical experiences, therapies, and controversies within the context of social and cultural influences. It weaves the main text, case studies, quotations, critical thinking questions, margin notes, cultural and gender differences, and other important elements into a cohesive narrative that is designed to keep students engaged. Comer encourages students to think critically about the science and study of abnormal psychology. His text also reveals the humanity behind the study of psychopathology - the impact of psychological dysfunction on those who suffer from it and their families.
