“This is the Bible of Stat Mech. It is a must-have for any person studying in the field of Statistical Mechanics.” -Amazon.com “It is worth twice the price and will prove to be an invaluable reference tool. It has fantastically detailed problems and solutions. I can't say enough good things about this book.” -Amazon.com As the author of landmark chemistry books and textbooks, Donals McQuarrie's name is synonymous with excellence in chemical education. From his classic text on Statistical Mechanics to his recent quantum-first tour de force on Physical Chemistry, McQuarrie's best selling textbooks are highly acclaimed by the chemistry community. McQuarrie's received his PhD from the University of Oregon, and is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Davis.
