Energetics and Equilibria
www-teach.ch.cam.ac.uk/teach/IA/EE_student.pdf
A comprehensive and 'wordy' text on Energetics and Equilibria by Cambridge University. It covers material relevant from several chapters and explains physical chemistry more from a thermodynamical point of view rather than quantum mechanical.
