Bright Wilson, Jr.", Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 139, 3 (1995): 312-315. Linus Pauling was one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology, and is widely viewed as one of the great scientists of the twentieth century. He won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1954 and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963. Wilson was a student of Pauling and an accomplished chemist in his own right, best known for his pioneering work on molecular spectroscopy. This book was intended to be an introduction to quantum mechanics particularly well-suited to chemists and is regarded as a classic text. Very Good with tiny bumps to the top corners of the boards and traces of wear to the extremities; signature of physicist W. Wallace Lozier on the free front endpaper.
