About This Item
New York: Academic Press, 1957. First Edition. Cloth. Near fine/missing. A near fine first edition. Blue cloth boards with gilt title stamping on spine. Previous owner's bookstamp on first free endpapaer. Science department bookstamp on first free endpaper and rear pastedown. vii, 64 pp., Octavo. A science classic still in print."Energy Changes in Biochemical Reactions outlines some of the principles of classical and of molecular-statistical energetics. An effort has been made to delineate clearly the axioms of each of these branches of energetics and to show how some of the theorems may be developed from these axioms. Finally, some of the ideas of energetic have been applied to a few biochemical problems to illustrate the types of insight which this branch of science provides for understanding and predicting. It is hoped that a reader who has conscientiously worked his way through this volume will acquire not only a cocktail-party knowledge of thermodynamics but will be able to apply it to some simple biochemical or chemical reactions." --Publisher's website (Elsevier)
