A concise and comprehensive summary of the nature of orbitals, terms, levels, and states. Selected topics range from atomic and molecular spectroscopy to quantum mechanics and bonding theory. Offers brief introductions to the expansion theorem and the concept of basis functions; perturbation theory and the variational principle; secular equations and determinants; Slater determinants and antisymmetry; real versus complex orbitals; and quantum numbers and symmetry labels.

<div>This concise, highly regarded text on the nature of orbitals, terms, and states offers a fine introduction to quantum chemistry. The treatment is especially suitable for students with a limited mathematical background.&nbsp; Topics include atomic and molecular spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, and bonding theory. More briefly covered are the expansion theorem and the concept of basic functions, perturbation theory and the variational principle, secular equations and determinants, Slater determinants and antisymmetry, and real versus complex orbitals.&nbsp; Based on the author's years of teaching experience, the mathematical explanations are presented as simply as possible, and the more difficult subjects are explained fully. An excellent supplement to any chemistry text for undergraduate students in chemistry and related fields.</div>

Fancy retirement right across the globe? Learning to speak a foreign language (Australian)? Too easy; don't be a wuss, mite! Herein, you will find travel, exploration, how not to buy a house, how to build a harpsichord; how to cope with a second hysterectomy, coronary bypass, two different and simultaneous serious cancers. No worries; she'll be right, mite! Consider Orshtraya on differing scales; the conurbation that is Canberra; the 90-mile straight which is just a blip in the landscape driving across the Great Australian Bite, Mite; the deeply soothing silence of the outback. Seriously, sport: this sometimes humorous volume is travelogue, retirement manual, and medical aid, all in one. It has a sporting chance of really helping anyone terrified with recent news of cancer or other really serious illness. We all need help.

Jewellery goes missing and our agile cat, Flea, is officiously accused of theft once again. Our whole family is in uproar at this insult. Meanwhile, her brother, the marmalade-coloured Ridden, goes missing for four very long, days and the whole family is bereft with worry. Eventually, the solution to the one provides the solution to the other and the wonders of miniature cameras provide all the evidence necessary to exonerate Flea and to restore her glittering reputation. All that, while we learn something about the habits of bowerbirds.

Transition Metal Chemistry: The Valence Shell in d-Block Chemistry

This book is an eminently readable introduction to structure and bonding in transition metal chemistry. Owing to its non- mathematical and highly visual approach, it is one of the most accessible texts on the role of the valence shell in d-block chemistry.  Topics covered include * stability and reactivity of transition metal compounds in their various oxidation states * spectroscopic properties * magnetic properties  Additional details and special topics are discussed in boxed sections within the text. This book will be invaluable to students and instructors alike for its non-mathematical account of key concepts and as a source of explanations and references to sources of further information.
