While IUPAC names and reaction mechanisms change, the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, and kinetics remain constant. The challenge has always been finding a text that explains these daunting concepts without oversimplifying or, conversely, becoming mathematically inaccessible. The collaboration of Dr. B.R. Puri, Dr. L.R. Sharma, and Dr. Madan S. Pathania resulted in a volume that achieved this delicate balance. puri sharma and pathania physical chemistry
