Best Physical & Theoretical Electrochemistry
Introduction to Combustion is the leading combustion textbook for undergraduate and graduate students because of its easy-to-understand analyses of basic combustion concepts and its introduction of a wide variety of practical applications that motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. Stephen R. Turns received degrees in mechanical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University (B.S., 1970), Wayne State University (M.S., 1974), and the University of Wisconsin at Madison (Ph.D., 1979).

"Very complete text book - using it every week."
"So much knowledge in this book."
"Good book, came on time, good price."
"Textbook is little to no help on any relevant topics."
Significant additions include ultramicroelectrodes, modified electrodes, and scanning probe methods. "...an excellent textbook...and a highly recommended addition to one's personal library."

"Full of very useful information."
"This is a must own for any chemist who does more than just dabbling in electrochemistry."
"This book is a summary of all electrochemist topics that you have to know."
"Classical textbook."
"As with all texts, it is best supplemented by a good professor's course, but it is readable even without such."
"Good quality and brand new."
The new edition of the cornerstone text on electrochemistry Spans all the areas of electrochemistry, from the basics of thermodynamics and electrode kinetics to transport phenomena in electrolytes, metals, and semiconductors. "...a solid, well-rounded discussion of the principal aspects of electrochemistry and is well suited for use as a graduate-level textbook.

"A good reference source for the money."
"The seller was supportive and kept me up-to-date about shipping etc."
"That means you don't have to flip to the front of the book and try to find the symbols in a table for the whole book - instead, they are close by at the end of the chapter and narrowed down by what appears in that chapter."
"As pointed out by the book itself, the subject is an interplay of heat/mass transfer, fluid dynamics, kinetics, and thermodynamics. If you are not already comfortable with chemical potential, activity, and fugacity, you will find it hard to appreciate some the arguments made by Newman."
"After studying various books on thermodynamics, P. W. Atkins' physical chemistry (only the relevant contents) as well as the electrochemistry book by Carl H. Hamann, Andrew Hamnett and Wolf Vielstich (I recommend that book for self study on electrochemistry), I became much more comfortable of Newman's ideas and interpretation. It is good for theroretical modeling in the field of electrochemistry and hardly can one find a comparable book in the clarity and completeness of theoretical concepts in electrochemistry (Bard's book is more experimental-oriented)."

"This is a used rental book, but the quality is okay isn’t the greatest."
"This is a comprehensive intro to chemistry."
"Brand new, great book."
"Fast Shipping."
"Fantastic deal!"
"I love saving money by renting books."
"I have just bought this brand new 3rd edition and compared it with my 1st edition."
Best Quantum Chemistry
McQuarrie has presented step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom in Chapter 9 and a hydrogen molecule in Chapter 10, in addition to including an entire chapter on the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods for the calculation of molecular properties. From his classic text on Statistical Mechanics to his recent quantum-first tour de force on Physical Chemistry, McQuarrie's best selling textbooks are highly acclaimed by the chemistry community.

"an industry standard for understanding s***ty wave equations and stupid thetas and phis."
"Good intruductory test, easy reading, not very good with mathematical explanations."
"after a semester of suffering through atkins physical chemistry 9th edition for thermodynamics, I really like the fact that my instructor decided to use quantum chemistry written by mcquarrie for the quantum part of pchem."
"This book explains the quantum chemistry starting with basic concepts in quantum mechanics and makes chemists life easy for understanding more complex systems."
