Lab-based physical chemistry

This is an interesting undergraduate chemistry textbook because, in contrast to most other textbooks in this area, it deals solely with aspects of practical undergraduate physical chemistry. The book would be most suitable for first- and second-year undergraduates and is divided into two parts: the first deals with data collection and analysis; and the second provides a series of experiments that illustrate various aspects of a standard physical chemistry undergraduate course. 

The initial section is an excellent introduction to laboratory work and guides students through some important areas that, as lecturers, we often take for granted, including how to keep a good laboratory notebook, analyse data and write a report. I particularly liked the clear section that deals with errors and uncertainties, and the differences between these, because this is an area that students often find difficult.
