This book in PDF format is available completely free of charge. It is a revised
and enlarged version of the first edition published in hard-cover format in 2001
by Prentice Hall. Thermodynamics and Chemistry is designed primarily as a textbook for a
one-semester course in classical chemical thermodynamics at the graduate or
undergraduate level.

of Maryland
This book
illustrated the concept of physical chemistry by schematic figures, simple
worked-out examples, and a short accompanying text. The concept of the book
makes it different from common university or physical chemistry textbooks.
