He is Editor-in-Chief of of the journal Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, and immediate past-Chairman of the Royal Society of Chemistry's NMR Discussion Group.
'I like the division of the material into shorter "chapters". This
helps to navigate through the material and break it up into
"lecture-size" bites. This is a comprehensive and well-organised
textbook that covers all the core physical chemistry. It is
attractively presented with excellent online resources and makes a
major effort to guide the student carefully through the more
demanding mathematics and derivations.'
*Professor Eleanor Campbell, Edinburgh University*
'Once again the authors have succeeded in improving on the already
very high standard of the previous edition.
*Matthew Ryder, student, Heriot-Watt University*
'I really like the new approach. I like the checklist of concepts
and the overarching "why you need to know this material" pointers
at the start of each chapter. '
*Dr Darren Walsh, University of Nottingham*
'I have used this book for more than 30 years. It is the best
textbook of physical chemistry for year 2 and year 3 students in
physical science departments, and for their teachers. I also use
this textbook as reference book for teaching other courses and even
for my research.'
*Wuzong Zhou, St Andrews University*
'This book is the result of years of improvement - and it shows.
Very useful to students and teachers alike.'
*Darren Walsh, University of Nottingham*
