Introduction to Quantum Mechanics covers quantum mechanics from a time-dependent perspective in a unified way from beginning to end. Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses this text will change the way people think about and teach quantum mechanics in chemistry and physics departments.

Statistical Mechanics is the extended version of McQuarrie's earlier text - Statistical Thermodynamics [USB 1984]. Statistical Mechanics [previously published by Longman Education] is a renowned accessible introduction to the subject.

AGeneral Relativity Workbook is atextbook intended to support a one-semester upper division undergraduatecourse on general relativity.

This book lays out the foundations of quantum mechanics through the physics of intrinsic spin, and is written to serve as the primary textbook for an upper-division course in quantum mechanics.

The biggest change in the years since the first edition is the proliferation of computational chemistry programs that calculate molecular properties. McQuarrie presents step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom and a hydrogen molecule, in addition to including the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods.

This introductory laboratorymanual will help students design a sampling plan, understand theinstrumental and analytical techniques used for the assessment ofwater quality, learn how to interpret data and use statisticalanalyses, and apply scientific reasoning to an environmentalproblem.

Thoroughly revised and expanded throughout, the new edition is a graduate-level text and reference book on gaseous nebulae, nova and supernova remnants. Much of the new data and new images are from the Hubble Space Telescope with two wholly new chapters being added along with other new features.

This modern textbook makes explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry.

Written by a practicing scientist, this book is directed to scientists, engineers, and others who want to improve their writing and communication.

This remarkable book charts the step-by-step evolution ofvertebrate blood coagulation. Intended for readers with a background inbiological science, it is specifically targeted for those in the field ofmolecular evolution and researchers in the area of blood clotting.

ClassicalMechanics is intended for students who have studied some mechanics in anintroductory physics course. With unusual clarity, the book covers most of the topics normally found in books at this level.
