Time Dependent Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy 2025e
Andrei Tokmakoff · University of Chicago
This book is meant as a resource for those that study quantum mechanics, dynamics, and spectroscopy of molecular systems. It's written with chemists in mind: people whose view of the world is formed in the language of atoms and molecules. It is also meant as a reference for practitioners in the field who may be familiar with the topic but perhaps not the molecular perspective. This edition adds considerable new material to the 2014 edition as well as extensive editing to the whole book.

The Necessity of Entropy: The Macroscopic Argument, The Microscopic Response, and Some Practical Consequences
Judith Herzfeld · Brandeis University
Students often find thermodynamics baffling. This should not be surprising because it took many years for some of the best scientific minds to work it out. Nor should that arduous history be surprising because thermodynamics links visible phenomena with molecular phenomena, two realms that are more often considered separately. However, the grand ambition of this linkage has been elegantly established and there is nothing convoluted about it.
