Book Synopsis

This book covers chemical kinetics from the working chemists' point of view. Competing books present a more theoretical presentation of kinetics. This book is a "how to" book for designing experiments, analyzing, and critiquing them. Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms also prepares chemists to devise experiments to test different hypotheses. A diskette that helps students solve end-of-chapter problems is packaged with each text.
