Book Description:

The Encyclopedia of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics is a major new reference work that any chemist and physicist can turn to for an introduction to an unfamiliar area, an explanation of important experimental and computational techniques, and a description of modern endeavors.



Readership

It is intended for a reader with a solid undergraduate education in physics or chemistry, including mechanics electricity and magnetism, differential equations, simple matrix algebra, chemical nomenclature and the basics of chemical spectroscopy. In addition, the reader has knowledge of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics at the level of an undergraduate physical chemistry text.


Reviews:


… now for the first time we have a comprehensive encyclopedia of this discipline …The editors-in-chief John Moore and Nicholas Spencer not only faced this marathon challenge but solved the problem with style … This balancing act between traditional and ultramodern physical chemistry succeeds … The cross-references excite the reader's interest and stimulates him or her to examine other volumes or topics … University libraries are strongly recommended to buy this encyclopedia, and all research groups working in the field should add this three-volume work to their reference books.
-Ralf Ludwig, Angewwandte Chemie

… a long and considerable effort has clearly been spent in compiling it … The encyclopedia is the best single source that I know of for getting a modern view of chemical physics and physical chemistry.
-Raphael D. Levinein, CHEMPHYSCHEM

This three-volume encyclopedia is a comprehensive survey of the present state of knowledge and the research frontier in nearly every area of chemical physics and physical chemistry … The goal has been to make each article enjoyable, informative, and concisely relevant to its named topic. These goals are well met … In its discussions, the encyclopedia strikes an excellent balance between theory and applications … [it] is a most remarkable and successful enterprise, and makes very enjoyable reading … It belongs in every university science library.
-William Klemperer, Physics Today, February 2003


Review:

Useful to chemists and physicists

Excellent backup for chemists and physicists. Only 3 years old, the articles are quite up to date on experimental results and on various theoretical aspects. By requiring only an undergraduate background in chemistry or physics, the editors have made this accessible to a significant audience.

For chemists, the quantum mechanical treatments will be readily understandable. The tie-ins to spectroscopic results, for example, are straightforward and help to motivate the theoretical presentations.

It may well be that physicists might have some problems with portions of the text. The thermodynamics treatment is something that chemists will be more familiar with. Some physicists will be rusty here!
