Sommario/riassunto

Offering a broad discussion of the concepts required to understand the thermodynamic stability of molecules and bonds and a description of the most important condensed-phase techniques that have been used to obtain that information, this book attempts to provide useful guidelines on how to choose the best data and how to use it to understand chemistry. Although the book assumes some basic knowledge on physical chemistry, it has been written in a textbook style and most topics are addressed in a way that is accessible to advanced undergraduate students. Many examples are given throughout the text, involving a variety of molecules.
