Physical Chemistry: Understanding Our Chemical World
by Paul M. S. Monk

Understanding Physical Chemistry is a gentle introduction to the principles and applications of physical chemistry. The book aims to introduce the concepts and theories in a structured manner through a wide range of carefully chosen examples and case studies drawn from everyday life. These real-life examples and applications are presented first, with any necessary chemical and mathematical theory discussed afterwards. This makes the book extremely accessible and directly relevant to the reader.
Aimed at undergraduate students taking a first course in physical chemistry, this book offers an accessible applications/examples led approach to enhance understanding and encourage and inspire the reader to learn more about the subject.

* A comprehensive introduction to physical chemistry starting from first principles.
* Carefully structured into short, self-contained chapters.
* Introduces examples and applications first, followed by the necessary chemical theory.

Introduction to Physical Geology
Written for an introductory one-semester geology course, this text is a brief version of Thompson-Turk's Modern Physical Geology. Thompson-Turk's brief text offers professors a more streamlined alternative to the longer, more detailed introductory text.

Introduction to Physical Geology emphasizes human-environment interactions and discusses the latest research in physical geology. Beautiful illustrations and clear writing style set this text apart from other geology texts.
