"Having read the text closely, I am most impressed by the enormous effort Raymond Chang has made in producing a very user-friendly text and the pains to which he has gone to explain all concepts as clearly as possible." --Keith Orrell, University of Exeter <br /><br />"I searched in vain for a suitable one-semester P. Chem. textbook. With the publication of Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences by Raymond Chang, I now have a textbook that is just the right step up from what the students covered in General Chemistry with a focus appropriate for students going into the pre-medical sciences." --Jimmie M. Purser, Millsaps College <br /><br />"In his new text, Chang clearly explains the fundamental principles of physical chemistry with an emphasis on biological systems. The mathematical derivations and examples are straightforward and easy to follow for undergraduate students." --Gary A. Lorigan, Miami University <br /><br />"Raymond Chang has flawlessly condensed the fundamental concepts of Physical Chemistry clearly and concisely in a one-semester text, giving insightful illustrations that make intuitive sense to the reader. This text applies concepts in a way that will positively impact how Physical Chemistry is taught to students in the biological sciences." --Raymond Esquerra, San Francisco State University <br /><br />"This is an excellent text for our undergraduate bioscience students who require advanced training in physical chemistry. It is primarily a physical chemistry textbook, and it does not scrimp on the key concepts of thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular quantum mechanics. At the same time, the presentation style is clear and understandable, and the text is sprinkled with just enough biochemistry to maintain our students’ interest." --Alan Van Orden, Colorado State University
