James Keeler Book order (chronological)

Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the benchmark of achievement for a chemistry degree throughout the world. The judicious choice of topics, the clear writing style of both authors, and the careful exposition of maths, reaffirm the book's position as market leader. In the eighth edition the authors provide a more compact presentation through the careful restructuring and redistribution of material. The coverage of introductory topics has been streamlined, and later topics rationalized, bringing into sharper focus the scope of the text to mirror the needs of today's students and lecturers. Mathematics remains an intrinsic yet challenging part of physical chemistry; the new edition offers greater explanation and support, to ensure that students can master the important mathematical principles, without sacrificing the rigour and depth of its mathematical content.

This text focuses on high-resolution NMR of liquid samples, specifically for spin-half nuclei like 1H and 13C. It targets those already familiar with routine NMR for structure determination, aiming to enhance their understanding of NMR experiments.

Focusing on the fundamental concepts of chemistry, this book equips readers with the essential tools to adopt a chemist's mindset. By integrating various branches of chemistry—physical, inorganic, and organic—it offers a cohesive understanding of chemical reactions and processes, enabling a comprehensive grasp of the subject.
