Physical chemistry: Extending the boundaries

Abstract

This chapter is conceived as a brief exposition of the content of the previous nine chapters, a commentary on them and added material, with the intent to enlarge reflection on the general theme, Physical Chemistry in Action. It can be considered as a guide to the book and, in its attempt to be syncretic, perhaps as a guide to the perplexed, confronted with the separate domains of physical chemistry, astrochemistry and astrobiology.
