Enriching knowledge

As another review said, this book has typos in it. They are not so huge as to impede the progress of one through this text-usually they are minor and easy to figure out if one fills in the one or two (very) trivial steps they usually skip. The problems at the end of the chapter are excellent in that they require the reader to take the knowledge they have been given and have to apply it to situations they have not been walked through step by step with the authors holding the reader by the hand. This is an advanced undergraduate, graduate student level text and should be treated as such. Though the topic itself is not that challenging they have written an excellent text that will challenge the reader to push the boundaries of their current knowledge. If you are having a hard time seeing the connection between the problems at the end of the chapter and what preceded said problems, you likely did not understand the material and thus are not ready to tackle the problems. Read with care and patience, the payoff will be great.

Excellent

As a graduate student taking kinetics I would definitively recommend this text! Appropriate amount of detail and explains the mathematics behind it all quite well.

Excellent

This is an excellent book if you know the basis of chemical kinetics. I recommended it especially for university students inthis matter.
