This review is from: Concepts in Physical Chemistry (Oxford Chemistry Guides ; 1) (Paperback)

Like any good dictionary type of book, this little volume can be of great help to students and professionals alike. Like any other book by Atkins, be assured that the quality is very, very high. And, for a chemist, it's a definite plus that this friendly guide was made to withstand the rigors of the laboratory table; it will last you a lifetime.
