Instead, unemployment and its human toll are given far greater emphasis than in other texts. The neoclassical model is covered both in its historical evolution and in its implications for current policy debates. An online Instructors Manual and Test Bank are available for adopting professors and an additional chapter

Quantum Mechanics. Physical Chemistrynbspis a new undergraduate textbook by Horia Metiu published as four separate paperback volumes. These four volumes combine a clear and thorough presentation of the theoretical and mathematical aspects of the subject with examples and applications drawn from current industrial and academic research. By using the computer to solve problems that include actual experimental data, the author is able to cover the subject matter at a practical level. The books closely integrate the theoretical chemistry being taught with industrial and laboratory practice. This approach enables the student to compare
