Books by Gordon G. (Duke University) Hammes

This book provides an introduction to physical chemistry that is directed toward applications to the biological sciences. Advanced mathematics is not required. This book can be used for either a one semester or two semester course, and as a reference volume by students and faculty in the biological sciences.

This title is a combination of Gordon G. Hammes' Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences and Spectroscopy for the Biological Sciences.

Thermodynamics explains if a chemical reactions will occur spontaneously. Kinetics deals with the rate at which chemical reactions occur. This book provides biological researchers with a clear, easily accessible introduction to thermodynamics and kinetics, providing numerous biological examples.
