这本书的目的是为研究生或高级本科生在化学教科书（它不是一个专着专家）。为此目的，评论家认为，这不仅是一个优秀的工作，但确实是最好的，在目前的时间。例如，刘易斯和兰德尔已经过时了;麦克杜格尔已经绝版了;克洛茨有点太古典了，过分强调了数学工作;古根海姆对大多数初学者来说太先进了（尽管这本书对一个由潜在的理论化学家组成的班级来说是首选）。沃尔提出了一个很好的平衡之间的理论和应用热力学，并在正确的水平，为平均化学研究生。这些问题特别令人耳目一新--在许多情况下，它们与通常的数值运算练习不同。统计学的一个初步介绍。热力学中穿插着物理力学。这一点越来越受欢迎，至少在书中是如此。评论家喜欢在讲座，至少，对待热力学和统计力学作为单独的课程，虽然热力学课程的一个不可或缺的部分将是一个分子的解释，在文字，尽可能多的热力学数据和方程。幸运的是，沃尔书中的统计力学可以根据教师的选择省略。评论者发现了一个非常令人讨厌的功能：遵循刘易斯和兰德尔，沃尔认为使用部分摩尔吉布斯自由能符号（Ft）而不是化学势符号（ah）是合适的。这是不幸的，原因有二：（1）化学势在确定相平衡和化学平衡中起着非常特殊和重要的作用（沿着压力和温度），因此应该用一个特殊的符号;（6）化学势在数学上（作为一个微分系数）不仅与F有关，而且与A、E和H有关。墙的选择在这件事上是特别令人惊讶的一本书，其中包括一些统计力学，因为统计力学几乎总是使用高，
This book is meant to be a textbook for graduate students or advanced undergraduate students in chemistry (it is not a treatise for experts). For this purpose, the reviewer feels that it is not only an excellent work but is, indeed, the best available at the present time. For ex-ample, Lewis andRandall is out of date; MacDougall is out of print; Klotz is a little too classical and overemphasizes nu-merical work somewhat; and Guggenheim is too advanced for most beginners (though it would he the book of choice for a class consisting of potential theoretical chem-ists). Wall presents a nice balance be-tween theoretical and applied thermody-namics, and at the right level for the average chemistry graduate student. The problems are especially refreshing—departing in many cases from the usual exer-cises in numerical manipulation. An elementary presentation of statis-. tical mechanics is interspersed with the thermodynamics. This is becoming more popular, at least in books. The reviewer prefers in lectures, at least, to treat thermodynamics and statistical mechanics as separate courses, though an indispensable part of the thermodynamics course would be a molecular interpretation, in words, of as much thermodynamic data and as many equations as possible. Fortunately, the statistical mechanics in Wall’s book can be omitted at the instructor’s option. The reviewer finds one very annoying feature: following Lewis and Randall, Wall sees fit to use the partial molal Gibbs free energy symbol (Ft) instead of the chemical potential symbol (ah). This is unfortunate for two reasons:(a) the chemical potential plays a very special and important role (along with pressure and temperature) in determining phase and chemical equilibria and so deserves a special symbol; and (6) the chemical po-tential is relatedmathematically (as a differential coefficient) not only to F, but also to A, E, and H. Wall’s choice in this matter is especially surprising in a book which includes some statistical mechanics, since statistical mechanicians almost always use Hi-
