From the Back Cover
The best selling book in the Physical Chemistry for the Life Science market presents the principles and applications of physical chemistry as they are used to solve problems in biology and medicine. Molecular interpretation and thermodynamics is covered early and integrated throughout. Readers are encouraged to study molecular structure and properties in order to understand the complex components of Thermodynamics —energy and entropy. Includes expanded coverage of intra- and inter- molecular forces including classical energies; Coulomb's Law, Hook's Law and van der Waals interactions. NMR—Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Fourier transform spectroscopy is defined and two-dimensional methods in NMR are discussed. Boltzmann Distribution of energies and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities are discussed in detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Better as a reference than a main text.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physical Chemistry: Principles and Applications in Biological Sciences (Hardcover)
I used this text in a physical biochemistry course and found it helpful in some areas, and not helpful in other areas. For one, the solutions are sometimes incorrect in the back, and there is not a solutions manual readily available (see other reviews for comment on that point). I feel that for a subject as difficult as physical biochemistry, a much clearer, more friendly textbook is required. If you are looking for a text to help you understand physical biochemistry for the first time, this is NOT the book for you. However, if you are already familiar with the subject matter, this book is a helpful reference. I still use it from time to time and find it more useful now than I did before I understood the material.

how about a solutions manual?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physical Chemistry: Principles and Applications in Biological Sciences (Hardcover)
The text is pretty detailed and has clear concise explanations. Sorely lacking a solutions manual.

No solutions manual?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physical Chemistry: Principles and Applications in Biological Sciences (Hardcover)
I have reviewed this book and I have to point out that it is too confusing. Maybe it would not be soo confusing if I had the solutions manual to check myself, if I am right or wrong. Otherwise haw will I ever learn anything, if I do not know the real answers.
