It is also perceived as the most daunting branch of chemistry, being necessarily grounded in physics and mathematics and drawing as it does on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical thermodynamics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his typical clarity and hardly a formula in sight, Peter Atkins' \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction \u003c\/em\u003eexplores the contributions physical chemistry has made to all branches of chemistry. Providing insight into its central concepts Atkins reveals the cultural contributions physical chemistry has made to our understanding of the natural world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOxford's \u003cstrong\u003eVery Short Introductions\u003c\/strong\u003e series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.
