With its clear explanations and practical pedagogy, Physical Chemistry is less intimidating to students than other texts, without sacrificing the mathematical rigor and comprehensiveness necessary for a junior-level physical chemistry course. The text's long-standing reputation for accessible writing provides clear instruction and superior problem-solving support for students.
Unnecessarily complicated, you have to read something three times before you can understand what it says. I hated my professors for choosing this as our textbook, I failed the course twice before they changed it. Much much better pyhsical chemistry books are out there.
