	JCE 2004 (81) 1423 [Oct] Galileo's Finger: The Ten Great Ideas of Science (Peter Atkins)
		Peter Atkins, the man with a chemistry textbook for every course, ranges well beyond his usual genre to explore some of the great scientific ideas of mankind.
		Atkins finesses the interesting phenomenon of zero-point energy in quantized systems by showing the quantized levels with the continuous classical ones, but not pointing out that there is not an allowed level at zero energy.
		Atkins seems to have intended this very ambitious project for the curious layman, but I judge that it will be most appreciated by us—teachers of science.

		Peter Atkins is very well qualified to write with authority about such a range of topics as he is Professor of Chemistry in the University of Oxford.
		Chemistry professor Atkins examines the epochal ideas of science, including evolution, the role of DNA in heredity, entropy, the atomic structure of matter, symmetry, wave-particle duality, the expansion of the universe and the curvature of spacetime.
		Atkins presents this progress as a search for evermore fundamental abstractions: DNA emerges as the fleeting physical instantiation of immortal information; thermodynamics is a universal tendency to disorder; and much of physics itself a logical corollary of pure geometry.

	DarkEcho/HorrorOnline: Peter Atkins (2000)
		Peter Atkins, despite more than a decade's acclimation to Southern California, still retains a Liverpudlian accent thick enough to make one instantly wax nostalgically about the Beatles.
		Atkins and Barker proceeded to work together in avant-garde theatre and independent film for the next five or six years, along with a small group of like-minded friends (including Doug Bradley, later to become famous as Pinhead).
		Atkins tends to write supernatural horror in an age where many writers feel that the fantastic is no longer as frightening as reality.

	Physical Chemistry. By Peter Atkins
		Peter Atkins’ textbook has now reached its sixth edition—a rare, but certainly not unheard-of degree of maturity in chemistry publishing—so there has been plenty of opportunity to weed out errors since the book first made an appearance in 1978.
		More applied areas, such as colloids and fuel cells make an appearance, but one senses that these form a kind of side show, brought in primarily to illustrate the principles of the subject; throughout, the emphasis is on the core material of physical chemistry.
		For example, Atkins takes the conventional approach to explain why a change in pressure may affect the position of equilibrium in a gas phase reaction, using Le Chatelier’s principle.

		There are simply too many scenes in the book which go nowhere and Atkins shies away from dealing directly with the crux of the story -is Frost actually killing vampires or is he merely a deluded psychotic.The violence is frequent and graphic,but these scenes are interspersed with ones of genuine lyricism and power.
		Peter Atkins, the author of such favorite popular horror features as Hellraiser II, III, and The Wishmaster, demonstrates here why he was chosen to co-write with undisputed modern horror master Clive Barker.
		Peter Atkins skillfully weaves a tale of grisly facination and edge of your seat suspense.
