Of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds aspects of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics that specifically relate to the size of objects. Atkins Physical Chemistry is widely acknowledged by both students and lecturers around the globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. (revealing how its unstoppable rise constitutes the engine of the universe), through the concept of free energy, and to the brink, and then beyond the brink, of absolute zero.Ībout the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Atkins ranges from the fascinating theory of entropy Third law, relating to temperature, should precede them-hence the jocular name zeroth), and proceeds through the First, Second, and Third Laws, offering a clear account of concepts such as the availability of work and the conservation of energy. Guiding the reader a step at a time, Atkins begins with Zeroth (so named because the first two laws were well established before scientists realized that a Powerful and compact introduction explains what these four laws are and how they work, using accessible language and virtually no mathematics. Written by Peter Atkins, one of the world's leading authorities on thermodynamics, this
From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal-everything is moved or restrained by four simple laws. The laws of thermodynamics drive everything that happens in the universe.
