Description
James House's revised Principles of Chemical Kinetics provides a clear and logical description of chemical kinetics in a manner unlike any other book of its kind. Clearly written with detailed derivations, the text allows students to move rapidly from theoretical concepts of rates of reaction to concrete applications.
Unlike other texts, House presents a balanced treatment of kinetic reactions in gas, solution, and solid states. The entire text has been revised and includes many new sections and an additional chapter on applications of kinetics. The topics covered include quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical activity, organic/inorganic chemistry, biochemical kinetics, surface kinetics and reaction mechanisms. Chapters also include new problems, with answers to selected questions, to test the reader's understanding of each area. A solutions manual with answers to all questions is available for instructors.
A useful text for both students and interested readers alike, Dr. House has once again written a comprehensive text simply explaining an otherwise complicated subject.

Person
James E. House is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Illinois State University, USA, and Scholar in Residence at Illinois Wesleyan University, USA. He received B.S. and M.A. degrees from Southern Illinois University and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In over 50 years of teaching, he taught numerous courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and several special topics courses. His research resulted in over 150 publications in professional journals, many dealing with reactions of solids. He has authored several books on kinetics, quantum mechanics, and inorganic chemistry for Elsevier. He is the Series Editor for Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry for Elsevier and has also edited volumes in the series. House was elected as a Fellow of the Illinois State Academy of Science and he has done extensive consulting in the chemical industry. He was selected as Professor of the Year in 2011 by the student body at Illinois Wesleyan University and in 2018 he was inducted into the Southern Illinois University Chemistry Alumni Hall of Fame.
