This title is a combination of Gordon G. Hammes' Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences and Spectroscopy for the Biological Sciences.

• Includes the basic principles of thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy with a minimum of mathematics and applications to the biological sciences
• Exercises to assist in learning are presented at the end of each chapter
• Provides biology and biochemistry professionals a guide to understanding biophysical chemistry, with focus on thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy
• Coverage on spectroscopy in includes an introduction to fundamentals, electronic spectra, circular dichroism and optical rotary dispersion, vibration in macromolecules (IR, Raman, etc), magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, and mass spectrometry

Gordon G. Hammes is University Distinguished Service Professor for Biochemistry at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. He is also editor-in-chief of the journal Biochemistry.
