Significant re-working of the book structure in Topics and Focus to improve digestibility and flexibility.Two new highly experienced biologists brought on to reinforce the application of physical chemistry concepts in biological contexts.The highly visual presentation helps student to understand even the most complex concepts.

Research-based newly developed structure emphasising in topics and providing a flexible and adaptative approach.

The presentation of maths, and calculus in particular, covers only the essentials and each mathematical step is carefully justified, in order to build the students' confidence in the mathematical concepts underlying the subject.

All applications and exercises relate directly to life sciences systems, further contextualising the physical chemistry content for life sciences students.

Every section of the text presents a core physical chemistry concept in tandem with its biological significance the student is in no doubt as to the relevance of the physical concept to the study of biology.

Strong pedagogical approach emphasises biological perspectives and the link between concepts and practical applications through worked examples, exercises, and problems throughout.

Offers a fully integrated approach to the study of physical chemistry and biology lecturers and students alike have a text that is truly tailor-made for their course.

Written to straddle the worlds of physical chemistry and the life sciences, it shows how the tools of physical chemistry can elucidate biological questions. A balanced presentation of the concepts of physical chemistry, and their applications to biology and biochemistry.
