Prospective chemists must learn to think in terms of 'energy' and 'entropy'. This volume, which is presented in a didactically skillful manner and uses SI-units consistently, is designed to provide the student with a solid foundation in the subject matter. Unlike most other presentations, this textbook is not laden with formalism, but emphasizes basic experiments and experiences. References to the molecular model further enhance the vividness and suit the chemist's way of thinking. Numeric examples bring to life less tangible definitions and concepts and enable the reader to put to use the knowledge acquired. These, as well as numerous cross-references linking different places in the text, motivate the student.
