2nd edition
From the reviews: "The presentation is self-contained and logical, often with excellent illustrations chosen with care ... The perspective is fresh and well suited to the current interest in materials science ... I recommend the book and have used it as independent reading for our majors in physical chemistry." Zoltàn Géza Soos, Physics Today, 2/1997 From the reviews of the second edition: "The present textbook concerns itself with two inseparably connected themes: chemical bonding and the physical properties of molecules. … Each chapter ends with a set of problems … . The bibliography contains numerous and up to date references to the original literature. … I recommend this book unreservedly for its high pedagogical value, more specially to the students starting their Mater degree (1ère licence)."
