About this ebook
The comprehensively updated third edition of a popular introductory statistical thermodynamics text that describes the principles and forces that drive chemical and biological processes.
This widely used, comprehensively updated introductory text on statistical thermodynamics describes the principles and forces that drive chemical and biological processes. It explains how a few simple physical principles cause the complex behaviors of molecules, and how simple models provide surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world. Written in an accessible, student-friendly style without compromising rigor, Molecular Driving Forces offers an excellent introduction to the subject for beginners and a valuable resource for experts.
