With the development of a variety of exciting new areas of research involving computational chemistry, nano- and smart materials, and applications of the recently discovered graphene, there can be no doubt that physical chemistry is a vitally important field. It is also perceived as the most daunting branch of chemistry, being grounded in physics and mathematics and drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical thermodynamics. Physical Chemistry: A Very Short Introduction provides a non-technical insight into the central concepts of the field, and explains its relationship to other branches of chemistry, and its important contributions to our understanding of the natural world.
