    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    In this book Professor Laidler gives an account of the scientific development of physical chemistry over the years; through its emergence as a distinct discipline in the late 19th century, to the development of the subject in modern times. He considers some of the difficulties faced by early investigators, as a result of attitudes of the Churches, governments, and even the universities which were mainly interested in classical studies at first. Some account is also given of the way in which physical scientists have communicated with each other.

    `... Laidler has provided a masterly survey of the field, which will help to put the record straight in many backwaters of the subject and in not a few estuaries too.' Peter Atkins, Lincoln College, Oxford, Nature, Vol. 365, October 1993
