    The logical way to teach p chem
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on 7 April 2018*

The subtitle "A molecular approach" is extremely fitting for this unique P. Chem textbook.  Many P. Chem textbooks (like Atkins et al) start with thermodynamics and thermochemistry.  However, there is a problem -- statistical mechanics is necessary for any reasonable modern understanding of thermodynamics.  This statistical mechanics is often relegated to a later chapter, or selected results are quoted without discussion.  Quantum theory, on which much of stat mech is hinged, is usually somewhere in the middle of the book where chemical bonding is described, after thermo, but before a treatment of kinetics and transition state theory, sometimes with implicit statistical mechanical assumptions.  While this is consistent with the historical development of the subject, it gives the field a disjointed impression and is illogical and poor pedagogy.McQuarrie is revolutionary in that it teaches the fundamentals of quantum theory first, and bases all the other subjects of the book on a microscopic, atomic/molecular standpoint.  This puts everything on solid intellectual ground, and students see the subject presented in a unified, logical, and deductive fashion, without having to accept too many "facts" on faith.  It is a pleasure to read, with adequate mathematical review for students whose background in calculus/complex numbers/probability might be weak.There is more than enough in this text for a two semester quantum and thermo/stat mech. sequence.  There is also a good deal on computational chemistry. (Unfortunately, DFT is not discussed, although McQuarrie's q chem book discusses it in detail.)Also, the typesetting, done with LaTeX (MathTime modification) is aesthetically pleasing to behold.
